November 2nd was a “mountaintop moment” for our new school. We welcomed nearly 200 guests to the Omni Charlottesville for a special dinner event to share and celebrate what we believe the Holy Spirit is accomplishing through Chesterton Academy of St. John the Evangelist.

Check out some of the highlights, and be sure to join us next year (date coming soon!):

• Student testimonials: Hikari Calderon and William Buyaki

• Partner testimonial - Andy Krouse

• State of the School address - Kate McAleer

• Guest Speaker - Emily de Rotstein

• Choral selection: "Climb Every Mountain", performed by CASJE students and board members

We also debuted a special school video that invites viewers inside our school to see the Chesterton difference. Hear from our students, teachers, and parents about what makes this affordable classical education so unique.

Special thanks to our Host Committee, Founders Circle donors, and to our volunteers for making the Gala a night to remember. Stay tuned for the 2025 Gala date!
