Chesterton Academy of Akron
A Classical High School in the Catholic Tradition
High School with a Higher Purpose
We at the Chesterton Academy of Akron are filled with an ardent desire to make God known, loved, and served. In this zeal we are partnering with the Chesterton Schools Network to bring their rigorous, integrated curriculum to Akron and to pair it with faithful, passionate, Catholic teachers in order to foster a culture of love of and delight in what is True, Good, and Beautiful.
Using a classical model of education our students will work with original texts to engage with fundamental ideas of leadership, virtue, and holiness.
