High School with a Higher Purpose


 

Chesterton Academy of the Florida Martyrs is an independent high school in Pensacola, Florida, deeply rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition. Our aim is to form students in a deeper love for Jesus Christ while faithfully passing on the culture of the Church and the treasures of a Great Books curriculum.

With the indispensable help of the Holy Spirit, we seek to nurture students in three foundational pillars: Spiritual, Moral, and Intellectual formation. By introducing them to great minds such as Socrates, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante, and immersing them in a distinctly Catholic culture, we invite students to embark on the adventure of discipleship and the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

Our Model of Education

THE THREE PILLARS 


Inspired by Saint Pope John Paul II, we take as our motto Cultura Vitae, the Culture of Life. We make it our mission to prepare our students to triumph over the materialism and despair that pervade our culture and to accept our Lord's offer to have life and have it abundantly. Our classical curriculum combines a broad liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty. Through our Three Pillars Model, we form our students in:
