St. Michael the Archangel Chesterton Academy warmly invites families, students, and community members to attend our Academy Information Night as we prepare to open our doors in 2026.

Join us on February 11 at 6:30 PM in the auditorium to learn more about our mission, classical Catholic education model, curriculum, and plans for the upcoming school year. This evening will provide an opportunity to meet our leadership team, hear about student life and academics, and ask questions about enrollment and next steps.

Whether you are actively considering enrollment or simply interested in learning more about our academy, we welcome you to be part of this exciting new chapter.

We look forward to sharing our vision with you and your family.

Is your 7th, 8th, or 9th grader curious about what a day at St. Michael the Archangel Chesterton Academy is really like? Join us on Thursday, March 19, 2026, for our Chesterton Academy Shadow Day! Prospective students will experience authentic classroom life, prayer, and community as they spend the day alongside our faculty and students. We will be coordinating with incoming staff members to create a full, enriching day of learning and connection.

Interested? Please RSVP so we can prepare for your student’s visit!
