SUCCESS! Giving Tuesday Kicks Off "$5k in 5 Days" Campaign to Bring a Chesterton Academy to Charlottesville!

SUCCESS!

We are so incredibly grateful and blessed to announce that this fundraiser was a success! Thank you to all of our donors for their generosity and support that made it possible for us to cross the $5k finish line in only 5 days. We are now one step closer to being able to open our doors and form our future students into strong, courageous, and joyful Catholics. Thank you all for your continued prayers.


Many faithful Catholic families have been praying for a joyful, affordable, classical high school—deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition—to make its way to Charlottesville. Families have moved away or separated for a time in order for their teen to attend a school like this. Not anymore! We will open Chesterton Academy of Saint John the Evangelist in Fall 2024, God-willing.

Will you partner with us in bringing this school to life?

The founding board members have been hard at work: searching for a headmaster and school location, setting up the student application process, fundraising in order to keep tuition affordable, meeting with prospective families, and much more.

Starting this Giving Tuesday through Saturday, Dec. 2nd will you help us raise $5,000 in five days?

Every dollar of your Giving Tuesday donation will help us establish this school and make it a strong and faithful institution that will enrich the Catholic community in Charlottesville for years to come. Thank you in advance for your support. Please pray for us as we lay the foundation for this new school over the next nine months.

If you have questions, please contact us. We'd be happy to arrange a phone call or coffee to discuss what's important to you as a prospective donor. Please see our FAQ page, as well.
