Yes, I'd Like to Help Support Chesterton Academy!

By supporting Chesterton Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, you help build a vibrant, joyful community where students experience the joy of learning in a Christ-centered environment that pursues goodness, truth, and beauty. We receive no operational funding from the government nor from the diocese — we are completely independent, supported by parents and community members who believe in our mission. Please join us!

Chesterton Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We aim to keep tuition low so all families can attend — tuition for the 2026–2027 school year is $9,999 per student, less than half the cost of diocesan schools. Because tuition is kept low, we must raise considerable funds each year to meet our operating budget.

We are committed to financial prudence and need to raise 100% of the tuition gap — the difference between our annual budget and annual tuition revenue. The tuition gap for the 2026–2027 school year is $9,847 per student.

We have completed a detailed five-year financial plan to project revenues, expenses, personnel, and fundraising needs. We are confident in our financial stability, which will only become more solid as enrollment grows and the tuition gap decreases.
