At St. Ignatius Catholic School and Chesterton Academy, we recognize and support parents as the primary educators of their children. We are privileged to partner with you, parents and guardians, as primary educators in helping form your children as disciples of Jesus Christ.

This partnership extends in offering parents and families the opportunity to serve in the same environment that your children attend school in here at St. Ignatius. We eagerly welcome parental involvement in our school, your school community. View the variety of activities and volunteer opportunities below,  so you can discern how best to share your gifts, support your school, and meet other other families God has brought together here at St. Ignatius and in our important mission.
