He is the co-founder of the first Chesterton Academy, a classical Catholic high school in Hopkins, Minnesota, which gave birth to the growing Chesterton Schools Network that now includes over 70 schools in the U.S. and nine other countries.

“Dale Ahlquist is probably the greatest living authority on the life and work of G.K. Chesterton.”

“Ahlquist on Chesterton is like Plato on Socrates, or Boswell on Johnson.”
