Chesterton Academy of Orlando

Exciting news! The local CBS news station (WKMG) ran a video story tonight profiling our school!

They interviewed our headmaster, Mr. Hickel, and our founder, Brandon Vogt, allowing both to explain how our school and families have benefitted from the incredible state scholarship program administered by Step Up for Students.

They also included great footage of our campus and students! Watch the video here, and please share it around:

As noted in the news story, it’s not too late to take advantage of the state scholarship program!

Every K-12 student in Florida, regardless of household income, now qualifies for a scholarship to be used at any private school of their choice. . . including Chesterton Academy of Orlando!

Just visit Step Up for Students and click the Apply button.

The scholarship is worth around $7,200 per high school student. That covers the vast majority of tuition at Chesterton Academy, which is $8,500 per student this year.

Tell your friends and fellow parishioners, and encourage any family who would like to send their student to a private school (perhaps Chesterton!) to apply today.
