High School with a Higher Purpose
The Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Hope is an independent Catholic, Classical High School in Warwick, Rhode Island. Inspired by the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith, Chesterton Academy seeks to form young men and women to be joyful saints. By introducing them to great thinkers such as Socrates, Thomas Aquinas and Dante, and by forming them in a distinctly Catholic culture, we lead students to choose for themselves the adventure of being a disciple of Christ.
