November Newsletter
November will be BIG for Chesterton Academy of St. John the Evangelist!
As we wind down October and the air cools, our quest to bring Charlottesville a high school joyfully rooted in the Catholic tradition is only heating up! We have two key happenings in November. But first...
G.K. Chesterton Quote of the Month:
“That is the one eternal education; to be sure enough that something is true that you dare to tell it to a child.”
Last Call for Annapolis Trip!
We have a few more seats on the bus to visit Chesterton Academy of Annapolis this Wednesday, October 25th. If you've considered it but are on the fence, is the Holy Spirit nudging you to come take a look? Preference will be given to students who will be 9th and 10th graders next year. Virtus-trained chaperones are available if parents are not able to accompany their student(s). If your student has a friend that might be interested, invite them along! We'll observe classes, talk to current students and faculty, and have plenty of Q&A. Get full details and RSVP today via our web site.
