The mission of Chesterton Academy of Sacramento is to help parents raise up a new generation of joyful leaders and saints, educated in the classical tradition and the truths of the Catholic faith.

Joyfully Catholic

Chesterton students grow in intellect and virtue as they immerse themselves in an academically rigorous classical curriculum, attend daily Mass, receive spiritual direction from our school chaplain, and find support in a thriving peer community that will embolden them to achieve their highest potential. Moreover, they come to understand more deeply that their lives have an eternal purpose and they are equipped to discern their vocation. All faculty must sign an oath of fidelity to the Magisterium. 

Integrated, Rigorous, Classical

Since 2008, the Chesterton Academy model has provided students across the country with a solid foundation in the humanities, fine arts, math and science. Business leaders seek out Chesterton graduates because they are well-rounded and demonstrate an ability to reason, problem-solve, and communicate well. 

Uniquely Affordable

With tuition at only $8,350 per year, our school is uniquely affordable — approximately half the cost of most other Catholic high schools in the area. While the true cost of educating one student is $12,000 per year, Chesterton commits to fundraising the remaining cost, one-fourth of the total cost (or $4,000) per student per year. We cannot provide this education to any of our students without our generous donors.
