Added to ACCS Certified College Program
MINNEAPOLIS, June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bethlehem College and the Association of
Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) jointly announced today that the
school is newly recognized as part of the ACCS Certified College
Program.
"This certification affirms that Bethlehem College adheres to high standards of
classical Christian education, providing students with a robust and
reliable educational experience," said ACCS President David Goodwin. The announcement took place as
part of the ACCS National Conference, "Repairing the Ruins," held
this week in Atlanta.
Classical Christian education is characterized by a reliance on
classical works by authors such as Homer, Democritus, Sophocles,
Plato, Plotinus, Josephus, Dante,
Pythagoras and Shakespeare, and an integration of a Christian
worldview into all subjects. Bethlehem College offers three undergraduate
and master's degree programs all under the banner of "Great Books
in Light of the Greatest Book for the sake of the Great
Commission."
"We are grateful to God for the association's confidence in
Bethlehem College," said
Zachary Howard, Bethlehem's Academic Dean. "This certification
marks our school as a preferred choice for ACCS high school
graduates seeking further classical Christian education, and
elevates our reputation among the religious and academic
communities that share our commitment to Christ-centered classical
education," he added.
