+ Is Chesterton Academy a Catholic School?
Chesterton Academy of Milwaukee received our Catholic school designation on June 20, 2019. We are most humbled and grateful for this recognition.
Chesterton Academy is part of the greater community of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese while maintaining our unique, classical identity, curriculum, and pedagogy. Recognized by our Archbishop, we can strengthen our connection to Catholic grade schools, high schools, parishes, priests, religious, and all the faithful as we pursue our mission to educate young people in the Catholic, classical, liberal arts tradition. We seek to conform students’ intellect and will to Jesus Christ. Chesterton Academy’s mission will be an important addition to the work of the other Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese.
