High Scholars is a two year curriculum created by Belhaven University.  These courses provide a seamless integration of history, literature and Bible with a Christian worldview emphasis. This program, which encompasses three courses each year, is a thorough study of Western Civilization and Worldviews, fulfilling academic requirements in history, literature, composition, and worldview. High Scholars is designed to provide a learning experience that goes beyond mere facts and brings students to a profound understanding of the biblical perspective. Classes take students on a two-year journey through the great cultures of western civilization. Students sharpen their biblical worldview as they study and critique the belief system of each culture while addressing inherent philosophical, political, and ethical issues. This unique approach teaches students the value of a Christian worldview for shaping a prosperous and healthy society. As a result of their studies, students will develop their own personal worldview based on the Bible. For more information about Belhaven University, go to www.belhaven.edu.
