Inspired by Pope Saint John Paul II, the Chesterton network of schools takes as its motto Cultura Vitae, the culture of life, and its mission is to prepare 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. Chesterton's classical curriculum combines a broad, liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty.
