We will be administering the Classical Learning Test (CLT) placement test for our applicants this coming Saturday, February 10th at 10 AM at Church of the Incarnation. The test takes approximately two hours. 

If you are planning to apply, please bring your son or daughter to take the test so that when your application is complete, the placement test will already be done. It is free of charge and part of the Chesterton Academy admission process. Kindly RSVP here if your student will test Saturday so that we can adequately prepare.

Please let us know if we can answer any questions as you discern your child's schooling for next year by sending an email to info@ChestertonSJE.org. Our headmaster, Dr. Jeffrey Bond, is also available to speak with parents and students. You may contact him at jbond@ChestertonSJE.org

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Jeffrey Bond as our founding Headmaster. We will have a Q&A session with him and discuss the value of a classical education. Prospective students will have a chance to experience a sample Socratic seminar with Dr. Bond. We hope to see you there!

DON’T MISS THIS LIVELY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF CATHOLIC, CLASSICAL EDUCATION!

The Chesterton Schools Network is hosting an online event to drive interest and awareness in our local community and you’re invited!

Join the Livestream Event (with Q&A) for a spirited discussion with Dale Ahlquist, president of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, and Andrew Youngblood, educational leader and author of Word on Fire’s new book, Know Thyself.

This event is free and open to the public but registration is required, so the event link and related materials can be sent to you.

Come hear from the man who started it all. Dale Ahlquist, co-founder of the first Chesterton School and founder of the Chesterton Schools Network, is coming to Charlottesville. Dale will share what it’s like to be a founding family or student at a Chesterton Academy; however, his real desire is to answer your questions. If you are a parent or student and you have questions on the school’s philosophy and curriculum, as well as practical aspects of student and community life, this is the event for you. Throughout the course of the evening students will also have a chance to have some fun playing games in the youth room at St. Thomas.

Dale is the creator and host of the EWTN series “G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense” so you won’t leave without experiencing some wit and wisdom of Chesterton as well!

Where: Saint Thomas Aquinas Church

When: November 10th at 6:30 PM

Pizza will be provided
