Chesterton Academy is a joyfully Catholic high school in Hopkins, MN raising up the next generation of saints.
Our rigorous, classical curriculum unlocks student potential and prepares graduates for the spiritual and intellectual challenges ahead. The result of a grass-roots movement of parents, Chesterton Academy is a pro-family, independent high school offering an integrated, college preparatory curriculum centered on the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. Focusing on the classics, the school develops complete thinkers who learn to draw on faith and reason for the purpose of building a culture of life.

Thank you to our 2026 Seniors! It was an honor to sit down with you all last night and honor you for your accomplishments and the amazing men and women that you have become.

Before coming to Chesterton, she was a shy homeschool student who knew her faith—but hadn’t fully made it her own.
Then she walked through the doors here.
She found a community that welcomed her right away…
a place that felt like home…
and an environment that helped her grow in confidence and in her relationship with God.
Over time, her faith became something deeper—something she chose to center her life around.
This is what makes Chesterton so special.
It’s not just what students learn.
It’s who they become.

Do you want teenagers who will bring your student closer to Christ?
Our culture is built upon this, but don't take our word for it.
Listen to a former grads take on our culture.

Faith is more than something students learn.
It’s something they live.
While many young adults drift away from their faith after high school, we’ve seen something different at Chesterton.
Because here, faith isn’t just taught in the classroom.
It’s lived out through daily prayer…
formed through habits of virtue…
and strengthened in a community that encourages students to grow.
It’s about helping students not only understand their faith—
but carry it with them into college, into life, and into whatever they are called to next.
That kind of formation makes a lasting difference.

Happy Feast of the Ascension!
The Ascension reminds us that we are made for more than this world alone. We are called to live with purpose, hope, and our eyes fixed on Heaven.
As Christ commissions His disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations,” may we too have the courage to live our faith boldly in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities.
“O men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven?” — Acts 1:11

Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated that 1 in 5 young men from Chesterton enter seminary. The correct figure is approximately 1 in 9.
Even so, we remain deeply grateful for the many graduates who continue to discern lives of service, faith, and vocation.
At Chesterton, our goal isn’t to direct students down a specific path.
It’s to form students so they can confidently follow God’s call—wherever that may lead.
For some, that leads to seminary.
For all, it leads to a life rooted in purpose, faith, and conviction.
