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 MISSION

Under the patronage of G.K. Chesterton and in partnership with families and the Church, the mission of Chesterton Academy of The Florida Martyrs is to foster a Culture of Life by forming a new generation of joyful leaders and saints, educated in the classical tradition and grounded in the truths of the Catholic faith.

SCHOOL CULTURE & FORMATION PHILOSOPHY

Chesterton Academy of the Florida Martyrs is not a reform or therapeutic school. We are unable to accommodate students with major or ongoing behavioral or emotional challenges that require intensive intervention or supervision. Our environment is best suited for students who are open to formation, willing to grow in character, and able to respond to correction within a structured and faith-filled community.

Our approach to formation follows the Preventive System of St. John Bosco, founded on reason, religion, and loving-kindness. We aim to form young people through consistent mentorship, clear expectations, and loving discipline that appeals to both mind and heart. The school’s goal is to cultivate virtue through relationship, guidance, and joyful pursuit of truth and goodness.

We view parents as the primary educators of their children and essential partners in our mission. The success of the school depends on active parental engagement — particularly in supporting the school’s Catholic identity, moral expectations, and disciplinary philosophy. Parents are expected to communicate regularly with faculty and administration and to work cooperatively in addressing both academic and behavioral matters.
Please confirm that you have read and agree to the statement on School Culture and Formation Philosophy.*
