I'm going to be brief here. I'm a student that graduated from Saint Therese Classical Academy (STCA), with the high school being a Chesterton School. While it wasn't and still isn't a big school, we learned a lot there. Stuff like the Dante trilogy and Shakespeare in Junior year for Literature, or Rationalism and economic ideologies (Capitalism from Adam Smith, Communism from Marx, Distributism from Hillare Belloc) in Senior year for Philosophy. And a robust history program throughout my high school there that covered multiple time periods, more uncommon countries from the usual history class, and reading first hand accounts from the time periods we visited (ex: Tactitus on the Fire in Rome). This history program is the reason why I'm doing history in college for my career. Even if I would've loved a bigger school, I cannot deny that we got a lot out of it. Plus we got to know all the teachers personally, and it was more laid back, less tense, and more enjoyable because of it.

But despite being a small school, it has big bills. It has been to three buildings for schooling throughout its 12 year existence, and they've all been rented, not owned. Now there has been a debt incurred with the new building, as well as the extra cost to be apart of the Chesterton system, and helping fund the graduating class for college. As a private school (as you could guess) they only get money from registrations and donations. They were sadly forced to raise the tuition this year because of the bills, and sadly was a big reason as to why many left the school (around a third left from when I graduated. While they are now looking for a building owned by a church to house the school in Jersey, the financial situation at STCA is still dire now.

That's why I've decided to spread the word now to try to help ease the stress of the headmaster/principle/teacher, Mrs. Raciti. Even if only one person sees this and decides to take action, that's still highly appreciated aid. I will provide a link below where whoever comes upon this, and is convinced by the cause, can donate to help the school. I have also provided a link to the website, so one can learn more about the school. That is all I have to say, God Bless.
