House System
Chesterton Academy’s House system is drawn from the 1,000 year-old tradition of Christian education exemplified in the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. The Houses provide real, tangible community within the larger school, giving students the opportunity to take ownership, fulfill the call to leadership, and to cultivate the ideal conditions for virtue. Each House has two Senior and two Junior prefects, two faculty advisors, and several parent liaisons.

Spiritual Life
Nurturing the Spiritual Life
Catholicism is central to our mission. For this reason, every school day begins with Mass. We teach theology out of the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and papal documents. Other important ways we live the faith include annual pilgrimages and retreats, modest and wholesome extracurricular activities, and sacred art and crucifixes adorn the hall and the classrooms.
Faith in our schools
Daily Mass
Weekly opportunities for Adoration
Retreats, Confession, and Spiritual Formation
Faith incorporated into every subject
Chaplains or regular visits from priests and religious
Pilgrimages
Chesterton Network Schools are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to go on pilgrimage. In addition to the March for Life and local pilgrimages, seniors have the opportunity to travel to Rome and Assisi, Italy. They encounter relics from the saints, sing for the Holy Father and see in real life the wonders of the ancient churches in the Eternal City.
