High School with a Higher Purpose
Chesterton Academy of The Florida Martyrs is a new, independent classical high school in the Catholic intellectual tradition now open in Pensacola, Florida. We desire our graduates to be virtuous and faithful Catholic leaders, fully alive in their faith and alight with the Joy of Jesus Christ. Inspired by the bravery and holiness of our Patrons, Chesterton Academy of The Florida Martyrs seeks to accompany young men and women on a journey to become joyful leaders and saints.
By introducing them to great thinkers such as Socrates, Thomas Aquinas and Dante, and surrounding them with a distinctly Catholic culture, we lead students to choose for themselves the adventure of being a disciple of Christ.
