The Cost of a Chesterton Education
Chesterton Academy of Bowling Green is committed to offering an exceptional high school education that is accessible and affordable for families. To support this mission, we offer tuition assistance to qualifying families.
Since tuition does not fully cover the cost of a Chesterton education, we encourage families to actively support the school community by volunteering and participating in fundraising efforts.
Together, we ensure that Chesterton remains a vibrant and thriving place of learning for all.
