The mission of Chesterton Academy of the St. Croix Valley is to help parents raise up a new generation of joyful leaders and saints, educated in the classical tradition and the truths of the Catholic faith.  Our rigorous, integrated curriculum unlocks student’s potential and prepares students to succeed in college and professional life, and to excel in service of family, of country, and of Christ our Lord.


Now in our fifth year of operation, Chesterton Academy of the Saint Croix Valley transitioned from a satellite campus of Chesterton Academy of the Twin Cities, into its own independent school in 2020 as a member of the growing Chesterton Schools Network. Founded as a result of a grass-roots movement of parents, Chesterton Academy of the St. Croix Valley offers a rigorous, integrated high school curriculum centered on the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. The school develops complete thinkers who learn to draw on faith and reason for the purpose of building a culture of life. During this transition, our leadership continues discussions with the archdiocese to be officially recognized as a Catholic school.
