Chesterton Academy
Green Bay Area Catholic Education (GRACE) School System
WELCOME
Welcome to Green Bay’s newest Catholic high school in the classical tradition! Chesterton Academy of St. John Paul II Classical School welcomed our first class of ninth-grade students in fall 2021. Every year thereafter we will add one grade level until we celebrate our first group of graduating seniors in spring 2025!
At Chesterton Academy of St. John Paul II Classical School, we embrace our motto Cultura Vitae, the culture of life. In this way, we heed Christ’s call to have our fullest life in Him. This intentional joy for life and learning is imbued in our classical curriculum with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty.
Patrick McKeown, Headmaster

Testimonial 4
I really enjoy a lot of things about our school, and I like our curriculum, because we have things like Latin. That’s something that makes our school a little different, and I like that.

I am lucky enough to be able to include God in everything I do throughout every day at school and we always make sure that God is never put second.
Testimonial 2
Thing that I like about Chesterton Academy that is different from most high schools is that we are taught how to think, not what to think.
