On August 8, 2022, we opened the doors of Chesterton Academy for the first time to welcome our inaugural students!

We began the day with Morning Prayer from Liturgy of the Hours, followed by a student orientation session led by our Headmaster, Mr. Jim Hickel.

The teachers and staff also took the Oath of Fidelity to the Magisterium, pledging to "preserve the Deposit of Faith in its entirely, hand it on faithfully, and make it shine forth."

Please pray for our students, faculty, and staff as we begin the 2022-2023 school year with great joy and gratitude to the Lord!
