About Calvin
Mind or heart? Faith or culture? Calvin doesn’t ask you to choose one or the other.
Calvin wants you to have both. Yes, Calvin’s intellectually rigorous education will challenge you to stretch your mind, to consider the possibility that there is truth in positions beyond the ones you've always known. And, grounded in an unwavering Christian faith, it will challenge you to stretch your heart. It will expand your capacity to care, to get involved, to believe and to love. In short, Calvin isn't for the faint of heart—but it's an education that is fully relevant to your life and to the world today.
