Admissions Process

 

At St. Ignatius Catholic School and St. Ignatius Chesterton Academy, we recognize parents as the primary educators of their children and are humbled to be able to partner with families throughout the Fox Valley who desire a Catholic classical education for their children.

As the Fox Valley’s only Catholic classical school, we focus not only on what children learn but who they are becoming.

 

Families from across the Fox Valley are saying “yes” to the St. Ignatius difference, and we invite you to as well. Our students and families come from more than 15 different communities, including Kaukauna, the greater Appleton area, and throughout the Fox Valley region.

We understand it is an important decision to discern educational options for your child and family, so we are here to answer your questions, share our mission, and walk with you in your decision.
