Join our mission to help form saints
Chesterton Academy provides a Christ-centered, classical education - where faith and reason meet in every class. By supporting the school, you are helping build a vibrant, joyful community embued with the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Catholic faith.
Part of the mission at Chesterton is to make Catholic education accessible to as many families as possible. We are committed to keeping tuition more affordable (almost half as much as our neighboring Catholic high schools). As we continue to build our enrollment, we rely solely on the generosity of people like you who desire to change our society through classical education and the truth of Jesus Christ! Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on one of more than 60 high schools in the growing Chesterton Network.
We need you!

Guadalupe Giving Society
Make a recurring gift to Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Your recurring donation provides a stable source of income to contribute to the sustainability of this authentic Classical education in the Catholic intellectual tradition. By becoming a member of the Guadalupe Giving Society, you pledge to contribute $25-$1,500+ each month (see levels at the top) through automatic deductions from your credit card or debit card account through the Catholic Foundation of Michigan, with no specified end date. We promise to steward your generous contributions to glorify God by forming our community’s young minds and hearts to think and reason, love Christ and His Church, and “rebuild our Church” and society.
For years to come, we will provide students with the beauty, truth, and goodness of what the tried-and-true Catholic Classical curriculum has brought to the greatest minds of our Judeo-Christian Western Heritage. In a culture where truth is non-existent and life is dispensable, our society needs genuine saints - and that is our primary mission! We are in the business of forming future Catholic saints!
Once you are enrolled in the Guadalupe Giving Society, you will be remembered during our daily prayers at convocation. There will be a special Mass that will be offered for Society members on or near the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and once every quarter.
