Chesterton Academy of Fort Worth

The Chesterton Academy of Fort Worth, part of the Chesterton Schools Network, is a triply-accredited, independent classical high school in the Catholic tradition that opened in Fort Worth, TX, in Fall 2023. 

The mission of the Chesterton Academy of Fort Worth is to raise up a new generation of joyful leaders and saints. 

Now in our fourth year, we're thrilled to announce that we are a Newman Guide Recommended School. Chesterton Academy of Fort Worth is the ninth school within the state of Texas to be listed in the prestigious ranking.

As a Newman Guide recommended school, Chesterton Academy of Fort Worth stands as a model for other schools nationwide and has reached the gold standard in Catholic education.

In keeping with our motto Cultura Vitae (Culture of Life), inspired by Pope Saint John Paul II, we prioritize keeping tuition accessible to families of average means.TEFA funding fully covers Chesterton Academy tuition, fees, books, and supplies for eligible families.

We aim to inspire and influence the culture in Fort Worth by joyfully engaging our students with the classics, which are the foundation of Western civilization and point to the most important historical event of humanity, the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Our school places value on skills seemingly forgotten in our modern society: reading, writing, oral presentations, the development of critical reasoning skills through logic and philosophy, development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty.

Our students begin each day with Mass, the most important period of the day, and we open and close each class period with prayer.
