Tuition & Fees
Chesterton Academy of St. Michael is committed to offering an outstanding classical education at an affordable cost. Because tuition does not cover the full cost of educating each student, families are also expected to support the school through volunteering and fundraising efforts throughout the year.

Financial Assistance
Financial Aid
Tuition assistance is available to families who apply and qualify. Chesterton Academy partners with TADS to allocate aid dollars fairly. Maximum aid allowance is 40% of tuition. An admissions application must be completed before a family can be considered for financial aid.
