Chesterton Academy of Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati (formerly Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati) is a small, joyful Catholic high school founded in 2022, offering a classical, integrated liberal-arts program for grades 9–12. Students move through a thoughtfully sequenced four-year plan that weaves history, literature, theology, philosophy, math, and science into one conversation, with Socratic seminars at the core. Distinctives include two years of Latin, Euclidean geometry and logic, and a robust fine arts program (sacred music/choral work, drama, and visual arts) that’s considered part of the core, not an elective.

Daily campus life is intentionally faith-centered, daily Mass, regular Adoration, retreats, and spiritual formation, while the House System gives students leadership roles and a tight sense of belonging across grades. As a newer school, athletics and clubs are parent-driven and expanding; the school outlines planned offerings in soccer, cross-country, volleyball, basketball, track, golf, baseball/softball, and more. Families often choose Chesterton for its emphasis on “truth, goodness, and beauty” and a curriculum that explicitly builds habits of critical reasoning and clear expression.

Tuition: $8,725 (2026-2027)
