Uniforms

  • The Chesterton Academy of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati dress code supports the school’s purpose of forming morally serious persons. Our uniform provides the students and local communities with an appearance that encourages and represents school identity, school spirit, unity, discipline, as well as a gold standard for an academic and professional look, the origins of which are classic and traditional. It promotes the values inherent in our school’s mission and allows our students to be recognized as members of the Academy.

    Students must wear their uniform in a respectful manner, mindful that they are seen as representatives of the school and leaders in an academic environment. Learning to maintain a neat, professional appearance is part of a student’s education. Students should thus be in uniform at all times while on school grounds, unless participating in a school sponsored after school activity with permission to change. Students must arrive and leave school in full uniform, including blazer.

    Modesty, cleanliness, and formality will be the primary guides in all matters of the required uniform. Students will be expected to present themselves in a way that reflects their great dignity, the dignity of their vocation as students, and the seriousness of our collective task. Therefore, they will wear the Chesterton Academy uniform in a modest and neat way, avoiding all manner of ostentation. The uniforms must be clean and in good condition with no rips, holes or stains.

Summer Reading

9th Grade

Mythology
Hamilton, Edith
ISBN 978-0316223331

Edith Hamilton’s classic retelling of all the primary Greek myths serves as a great introduction to the Greek world that is the backdrop to the freshman literature sequence. Students will learn the Greek origin myth and several memorable cautionary tales. Also, these short stories introduce the Greek gods as well as all the major Greek heroes, such as Hercules, Pericles, Theseus, and Jason. This is a must-read for students to prepare for the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid and Greek dramas covered in the freshman literature curriculum.

Note: Read Parts I-III of the Hamilton book only. Reading further actually begins to preclude the subject matter of the Iliad and Odyssey which we read during the year.

10th/11th Cohort

The Restless Flame
de Whol, Louis
ISBN 978-0898706031

The Restless Flame by Louis de Whol - This book provides a dramatized retelling of St. Augustine’s Confessions. The primary text will be read during the first semester of sophomore year. By understanding the events that shaped St. Augustine’s life, students will be better prepared to appreciate Confessions, one of the greatest works of Western literature. The book follows his career from his early Christian training by this mother Monica, his disavowal of his belief for the tenets of Manichaeism when he went to Carthage to study, and his continuation in that theology as he went to Rome and later Milan. There the work and teachings of the good Bishop Ambrose and his human and healthy wisdom reveal Augustine’s blindness, and he again embraces the true faith. St. Augustine’s life is a life of conversion, and he experienced many successive conversions throughout his journey to God.
