Dale Ahlquist

Dale Ahlquist is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on the life and work of G.K. Chesterton, often called "the Apostle of Common Sense." As the President of the American Chesterton Society, Dale has spent decades championing the wisdom and teachings of Chesterton, whose writings continue to inspire generations across the globe. Dale is not just a scholar—he’s a pioneer in educational reform. His work has sparked are naissance in classical education, leading to the foundation of the Chesterton Schools Network (CSN), an innovative educational model that integrates faith, reason, and a liberal arts curriculum.

Under Dale's leadership, the Chesterton Schools Network has grown to 60 high schools across the United States. These schools are recognised for their distinctive "atmosphere of Catholic joy," where every subject is infused with the richness of the Catholic faith, creating a holistic learning environment that nurtures both the mind and the soul.

Dale's influence extends beyond education. He has authored six books and edited fourteen, cementing his place as a leading voice in contemporary Catholic thought. His tireless work has not only revived interest in G.K. Chesterton but has also inspired a new generation of thinkers, educations and parents to pursue a deeper, more meaningful approach to education.

Dale Ahlquist is more than an educator - he's a visionary who believes in the power of a well-rounded, faith-based education to shape the leaders of tomorrow. His visit to Hartford College is a rare opportunity to hear from the man who is redefining what it means to truly educate.
