Our Story
Founded in 2007 by Tom Bengtson and Dale Ahlquist, Chesterton Academy was created to offer a classical, integrated high school education that is both affordable and faithful to the Catholic Church. Inspired by the writings of G.K. Chesterton, the academy has grown to nearly 60 locations across the U.S. and Canada, including the newly established Chesterton Academy of Atlanta, which opened its doors in August 2023.
