Chesterton Academy of the Holy Family

Chesterton Academy of the Holy Family is an independent Catholic high school on the lower level of the First Presbyterian Church in Downers Grove, Illinois, in the Chicago metropolitan area.[1] While it is in the territory of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet in Illinois, it is not managed by the diocese.

A cardiologist named Sean Tierney cofounded the school. The school, which uses the curriculum of the Chesterton Academy in Minnesota, was scheduled to open on August 24, 2015. The founders intentionally do not emphasize technology in the classroom, beleving that students perform better with traditional learning materials. As of 2015 the school has no athletic teams.[2]
