See what sets us apart at Chesterton Academy - Queen of Martyrs and how we aim to raise up a new generation of leaders and saints who will joyfully defend the faith and build up a culture of life.

Recently we received incredibly joyful news that we are excited to share! As an independent school, we are proud to receive full approval from Bishop Hying and the Diocese, marking an important milestone in our mission to provide a faith-filled educational option to families living in Sun Prairie and the surrounding communities…

Our school initiative started after a group of Catholic moms formed a homeschool co-op and started discussing the future education of our children. Each of us had fallen in love with classical education independently and were already following the classical model at home…

Chesterton was a prolific English author of books, poems, plays and essays, who wrote about everything and did so with great wit and verve and insight. People bought newspapers just to read his columns and bought radios just to hear his voice.

The Houses provide real, tangible community within the larger school, giving students the opportunity to take ownership, fulfill the call to leadership, and to cultivate the ideal conditions for virtue.
