About Chesterton Academy of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati
Chesterton Academy of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati is a classical Catholic high school serving grades 9-12 in the Portland Metro Area. It is member of the renowned Chesterton Schools Network, named for the Englishman Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936). G.K. Chesterton was considered one of the world’s most outstanding men of letters in the early 20th century. The school has chosen him for its patron because he not only represents the fullness of faith and reason, but also Catholic joy and common sense.
The Portland campus is named for St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, a 20th-century Italian saint known for his dedication to aiding the poor in his home town of Turin. He is the patron saint of mountaineers, students, and Catholic youth.
