Because of You, Chesterton Academy Completed Its First Year.
“Because generous donors like you believed in the mission of CASTA, its students flourished — attending daily Mass, singing in the choir loft, and stepping into a formation of soul, mind, and body.”

The Family Is Under Attack.
Our country, our culture, and our Church are in crisis. The family is under attack. We empower parents as the primary and principal educators of their children — and that formation cannot wait.
Tuition Covers Only 29 Percent of the True Cost.
CASTA has chosen, deliberately, not to close that gap by raising tuition on its families. Today tuition is $9,500 per student, while the true cost to educate one CASTA scholar is $19,846. Your gift is what closes the difference.
A Harvest of 1,800 Pounds of Grapes.
To celebrate CASTA's first Ember Day, students, faculty, and friends spent a September afternoon at Granite Heights Winery, learning the science, math, and technology behind a single bottle of wine. Under the rolling hills of the Piedmont, students heard from Fr. Charles Smith on the Gospel: “I am the vine and you are the branches.”
“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.” — G.K. Chesterton
“Chesterton Academy provides an education that all students deserve. The focus on God, Truth and Beauty infuses every facet of this learning model, rooted in a classical curriculum and guided by faithful teachers.”

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.” — G.K. Chesterton
