Art and drama are not electives at Chesterton Schools. Every student takes them, as well as choir and dance.

People are usually surprised by that. They picture a classical school and think the humanities, Latin, logic, math, and maybe an art class if there's time left over.

But here's the thing. Dostoevsky said beauty will save the world, and Chesterton added that beauty is unanswerable.

Dale Ahlquist explains the value of forming students in the fine and perforrmig arts in this interview on the Napa Institute.

In 2016, Danish politician Ida Auken described the year 2030 as a happy place to live: no car, no house, no appliances, no privacy, and a living room lent out for business meetings whenever she steps away. Joe Grabowski and Grettelyn Darkey read Ida Auken's essay beside G.K. Chesterton, who had already named the bargain nearly a century before it was offered—that privacy is the mark of property, and that a people stripped of both are being fitted for a hive instead of a home.

Chesterton once said that conversion comes in three stages.

First you decide to be fair to the Church. Detached, not interested, but willing to give it a hearing.

Then you start discovering it, and find it's larger on the inside than the outside.

Then, the stage he called the truest and most terrible, you try not to be converted. You see where this is going, and you run.

Hear more in this clip from Dale Ahlquist's interview with the Napa Institute.
