CLASSICAL and CHRISTIAN
A Classical Education Grounded in a Biblical Worldview
For centuries dating to medieval times, the classical model of education was the standard. Students mastered dialectic (logic), reasoning, writing, and oration. Recognizing that the English language, the sciences, and even the law had their bases in Latin and Greek – instruction in these languages was common in the classical model. The ancients believed that mastery of these foundations prepared the student for specialty study. The purposed mastery of these classical elements formed the first phase of the classical model - the Trivium.
In the second phase, students studied particular subjects. The subjects were not treated as isolated bodies of knowledge, but rather connected through common threads of language, of literature in their original form. A Biblical worldview and an historic context were sewn throughout the curricula. This second phase formed the Quadrivium.
The Trivium and the Quadrivium have been set as the cornerstone at Morthland College. Not only is this Tradition, it is also the standard by which the ancients seasoned future scholars for centuries.
Linguistics at Morthland College
Our curricula has been designed to model those of the early divinity colleges in America. In those colleges, languages like Latin and Greek were taught as the foundational languages for modern languages. Literary works and the Bible were studies in their native tongue.. Morthland College has purposefully set in place, once again, linguistics as a core component of our classical, Christian programs.
Some students may seek advanced studies in linguistics at Morthland College. For this reason, we have placed a linguistics track in the BA in Biblical Studies and the BA in Classics. Students may pursue study in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Coptic, and Aramaic. We are currently developing a series of courses in the modern languages as well.
If you are interested in a linguistic track at Morthland College, then please contact us. We will arrange to send you information, for one of our scholars to contact you, or for a campus visit.
A Culture of Scholarship
The programs at Morthland College may seem challenging. The faculty believe, however, that students who come to Morthland purposed to learn – will do well. We are committed to working with you in cultivating both your mind and spirit.
As a Christian college, Morthland offers a warm environment where a student's faith may be strengthened and encouraged. A common thread of discussion among the founding members of this Institution is that we want for our students to leave not as skeptics or atheists, but rather bolstered in their faith in Christ and with an appreciation of their commission to carry out His work. Every week chapel will be held and led by different leaders of the Institution. We consider local churches our partners in the student's spiritual growth and encourage worship within a local church body.
A Culture of Prayer
The founders of Morthland College believe God's favor was behind the birth of the new institution. For years, people from across the region have come together to intercede for the institution and for God's will to be manifest. People from various denominations meet at the college periodically to pray for the college, the faculty, and the students.
