PHC’s Christian Classical Liberal Arts Core Curriculum consists of 63 credits. It is broad in scope, but its parts are integrated with each other, as students explore the connectedness of all the disciplines. Every student—regardless of major—takes every Core Curriculum course.

Taught by Kathy Weitz, PHC's professor of Classical Liberal Arts, Rhetoric & Composition seeks to enhance students’ written communication skills by applying rhetorical theory, particularly the canons of invention, arrangement, and style, to extensive practicum in essay writing.

Students will read in both rhetorical theory and examples of excellent written rhetorical discourse and compose essays on a variety of topics, pursuant to honing their own rhetorical skills in written composition; namely substance in invention, coherence in arrangement, and eloquence in style.

Freshman spotlight! Meet Michael Weld from good ol' sunny San Diego!

Michael's Mom was homeschooled from grade seven on and due to her family's affiliation with HSLDA, she heard about PHC and attended during its inaugural year. Michael was homeschooled from day one and participated in organizations like Classical Conversations and Stoa. His peers from these programs challenged him to pursue excellence and chase after God.

In his spare time, Michael enjoys singing, playing piano and guitar, reading, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, tennis, soccer, volleyball, listening to podcasts, and having random and vigorous discussions with friends about theology and politics. He has also recently dipped his toe into cooking.

Michael says. "I came to PHC for several reasons. First, I knew from my visit that PHC would provide something I need and desire—a place where the students are dedicated to not only pursuing academic excellence but also to diligently pursuing their faith. Second, I have heard from friends who attend how invested the faculty is in the growth of individual students and that the mentorship is quite rich. And third, I'm interested in their ministry-related clubs such as the Great Commission Association and the Int'l Justice Mission chapter."

How does Patrick Henry College stand apart from other colleges? Part 3 of 3.

We believe high academic rigor and conservative principles are insufficient unless informed by the belief that God is the source of all Truth.

No matter what the tides of culture might bring, PHC remains steadfast in its mission to educate young men and women for Christ. Patrick Henry College has taken specific measures to ensure our commitment to a biblical worldview. Our Statement of Faith is affirmed and signed by all students, staff, faculty, and trustees. In addition, members of the faculty, administrators, and trustees also affirm and sign a Statement of Biblical Worldview, further emphasizing our Christian mission.

Did you know?

Twice a week, groups of students meet in their dormitory wings for “wing chapel," led by a student Resident Assistant. These are Bible studies where students exhort, encourage, and pray for one another. Wing Chapels give students the opportunity to study God’s Word, do topical studies, bring in guest speakers, read devotional literature, worship together, or go for prayer walks.

We recently caught up with Ben and Elle (both Government, '21), married PHC alumni, for a life update.

Ben and Elle both graduated from PHC in 2021 as Government majors in the American Politics & Policy track.

Ben accepted a rotational role at Deloitte Consulting upon graduation. He worked as an analyst in the Contracts, Finance, and Strategy departments in addition to coaching the PHC men’s soccer team for the 2021-2022 season. In 2023, he accepted a new position as a consultant doing market strategy for Deloitte corporate.

Elle is putting her Journalism minor to use as an editor for The Federalist. Starting as an assistant editor after graduation, she’s now heading up the publication’s coverage of the 2024 election as its elections editor, where she oversees a team of reporters.

Since getting married in 2022, Ben and Elle have continued to enjoy the community they’ve found in Loudoun County and at Sterling Park Baptist Church.

Freshman Spotlight!

Meet Abbagael from Sebastian, Florida!

Abbagael entered PHC as a second-year student. Last year, she attended through distance learning. She is majoring in Government: American Politics and Policy. After graduating, she plans to attend law school to earn a constitutional law degree.

Abbagael's hobbies include playing golf, piano, and violin. She and her family love traveling; some of the places outside the country they've been to are Israel, Ireland, England, France, and St. Lucia.

Since a young age, Abbagael has been very involved in government at both local and state levels. Some of that involvement also included attending TeenPact Leadership Schools, Generation Joshua, and Patriot Academy. Her personal highlight was serving as an intern for the First Lady of Florida, Casey DeSantis, in the Executive Office of the Governor.

But the most important part of Abbagael's life is her relationship with the Lord. She chose PHC to grow spiritually as well as academically. She is so grateful to be living on campus and making new friends!

He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
He gives snow like wool;
he scatters frost like ashes.
He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs;
who can stand before his cold?
He sends out his word, and melts them;
he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
– Psalm 147:15-18

How does Patrick Henry College (PHC) stand apart from other colleges? Part 2 of 3.

We believe our nation and the ideals behind its founding must be preserved for future generations.

To ensure graduates possess a profound appreciation for our country and the liberty it provides, every PHC student must understand our nation’s founding through the study of required courses in American Heritage such as Constitutional Law, Freedom's Foundations, Western Civilization, and U.S. History.

Highlights from last month's Christmas Ball at Fox Meadow Barn.

As the first formal dance of the year, the Christmas Ball allows students to swing in the holiday season. There's always plenty of food, swing, and a "snowball" dance or two where students switch partners in a fast-paced swing dance.

Once again, thanks to C.S. Lewis & the News for the music performance!
