Albrecht Law Celebrates the Impact of Dr. David DeWolf and Chesterton Academy of Notre Dame

Why We Support Chesterton Academy
Classical education is a modern answer to a modern problem: how can young people discern an authentic way of life in the midst of the clamor and noise of a digitized world? The answer is simple: expose those young people to the beauty and meaning that authors, artists and musicians of have poured into the great works of art, music and literature of Western Civilization. Chesterton is part of a network of schools that have discovered that, even if centuries appear to separate young people from those treasures, the way in which they reflect on the human experience strikes a resonating chord in the adolescent spirit. Classical education ennobles and elevates, and encourages young people to take their place as leaders in whatever station of life they find themselves.
– Dr. David DeWolf

About Andrew Lawhon
Andrew Lawhon is not only a dedicated attorney but also a firm believer in the transformative power of classical education. For over a decade, he and his wife, Kate, have embraced the classical model in the education of their seven children, recognizing its ability to cultivate wisdom, virtue, and a love for truth. Their commitment to this time-honored approach recently led them to relocate to Spokane, drawn by the vibrant classical Catholic community and, in particular, Chesterton Academy of Notre Dame. Kate holds a Master’s degree in Classical Education and has devoted her life to making this rich educational tradition accessible to as many children as possible.
Together, their passion for passing down the true, the good, and the beautiful has shaped not only their own family’s journey but also the wider community. Andrew is dedicated to fostering a love of learning and a pursuit of excellence, both in their home and beyond.
