Martin Saints is a member of the international Chesterton Schools Network. Named for G. K. Chesterton, who lived the Catholic faith with wit, wisdom, clarity, and charity, Chesterton network schools offer a broad liberal arts education with an emphasis on cultivating Christian virtues. 

The beauty and goodness of God’s creation are woven into the entire curriculum. We study the great books of Western civilization. We welcome all the tough questions that high school students ask. Our teaching style emphasizes good writing, clear thinking, and seminar-style conversation.

 

Since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has called for the renewal of Catholic education at all levels, from grade school through universities. A Catholic education needs to be more than just a secular school with a religion class. The ICLE offers teacher training and professional development to help our faculty realize this vision. 

The ICLE helps us integrate faith and reason across our curriculum. The ICLE is a community of Catholic educators who create curriculum and build school culture in light of the fullness of Catholic teaching. Martin Saints was proud to host ICLE’s annual High School Leaders Forum in 2022 and 2023, when guests came from around the country to learn more about the Martin Saints model and how to found a Catholic classical high school.
