Our Catholic classical education curriculum meets and exceeds all state requirements, and specifically aligns them, enriches them, and integrates them cohesively into a beautiful tapestry that reflects all the best that has ever been thought, written, spoken, or done.
We are truly unique in that we are the first school in the Diocese to transition our entire curriculum, PK3-12th grade, to the classical model. In addition, we are the FIRST Chesterton Academy in the state of Texas and in the southern United States, so we are leading the way among Catholic schools in this endeavor.
The authentic purpose of education and of life - and the search for Truth, Beauty, and Goodness - drives every decision and lesson. Lesson plan objectives are based not on what “students will be able to do”, but rather, on what “truth students will behold.” Students are constantly reminded that we are training for heaven.
Catholic schools in the Diocese of Austin do not take the Texas STAAR test. However, we do utilize Reading and Math benchmarks and nationally norm-referenced tests that allow us to measure progress and ensure academic growth. We have written a classical academic program that is accepted by the accreditation process for Catholic schools, identified by the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department.
