The students attend daily Mass, Catholic theology is integrated into each subject, and the classical curriculum is inspired by G.K. Chesterton's approach to faith and reason and St. Philip Neri's holy humor and responsiveness to his times. Conveniently located in the heart of Kansas City, Chesterton Academy of St. Philip Neri is located less than one block from Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church. The academy's proximity to our Lady of Good Counsel allows students to assist at daily Mass within a stone's throw from the school. This newly acquired location includes ample classroom space, plentiful natural light, space for theatrical performances, a gymnasium, and much more. The school is run by a board of dedicated parents, educators, and community leaders. We hire excellent classical teachers from both a local and nationwide search who take the Oath of Fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. We are part of the fast-growing Chesterton Schools Network founded by Dale Ahiquist and Tom Bengston of Minneapolis. Our goal is to form joyful, generous, and confident Catholic leaders prepared for life and mission in the modern world. Through our Three Pillars Model, we form our students in: intellect, character, and spirituality. Intellectually, we teach the classics of Western thought from physics to philosophy, and the interrelationship of the great ideas; teaching students not merely what to think but how to think. We build character by helping students grow in the four cardinal virtues of prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice, which we believe is the foundation of leadership. Spiritually, our students come to understand and embrace the truth of why they exist: to know God, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world and be happy with Him forever in the next. 0 0 0 383626 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 1 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 X Alvin O Bockwinkel 8778295500 500 W 40th Street Kansas City MO 64111 Dr Luke Murray Headmaster (July - May) 50 0 X 82375 0 0 Nicole Conroy Executive Director 50 0 X 69430 0 0 Alvin Oliver Bockwinkel Chairman (July - May) 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Matthew T Kutz Chairman (June) 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Corley Vice Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Charlotte Ostermann Secretary 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Basola Treasurer 1.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Kelly Board Member (July - March) 1.5 0 X 0 0 0 Devin Winter Board Member 1.5 0 X 0 0 0 151805 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 129950 0 0 119890 1200 249840 Tuition Revenue 611110 288079 288079 0 0 Student Activities 611110 19785 19785 0 0 0 0 0 0 307864 5481 0 0 5481 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 129950 60351 -60351 0 -60351 1041 1664 -623 -623 0 0 0 502211 307241 0 -54870 34000 34000 164110 98466 32822 32822 227165 136299 45433 45433 29839 17903 5968 5968 1800 1800 11866 7120 2373 2373 8072 8072 1363 1363 11785 163 10040 1582 21860 21365 495 5081 2832 2249 1191 1191 6413 6413 School Expenses 46393 46393 0 0 Professional Development - Faculty 14417 14417 0 Chesterton Schools Network Membership Fee 7500 7500 0 592855 383626 108930 100299 26192 30577 200076 116583 18860 8500 4594 76234 230862 250754 18827 71640 0 90467 X 230862 160287 0 0 230862 160287 230862 250754 X -90644 0 0 0 20068 1 X X 0 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Operating Lease Asset 71640 Bitcoin 4594 76234 Operating Lease Liability 71640 71640 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 The organization's racially nondiscriminatory policy is published on the admission page of the website and on the application for enrollment document.
