“The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance” (Ps. 16:6).

“Do not remove the border that your fathers have made from old times” (Pr. 22:28). 

The world’s most prestigious schools were founded with dearly held Christian values in a culture of academic rigor. Granted, they had problems also.  Dogmatic superstition often posed as unquestionable truth: divine right of kings, slavery, flat earth, etc. While modernists may have discarded much of the rubbish from past eras (or exchanged it for new delusions), the baby has, in most cases, been thrown out with the bathwater.

In a world where people don’t know up from down, right from wrong, or even male from female, we are resolved to treasure and build upon the excellence that has been handed down from the imperfect past.  At Hartwell, we purpose to “…test everything; hold fast what is good” (I Th. 5:21). 

Our learning environment is designed to build strong character through intelligent interaction with tested faculty and honest peers.  It is okay to spar politely at Hartwell: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Pr. 27:17).

Calling all resilient souls!
