What’s Different about PHC Prep?
Each course is taught from a distinctively Christian perspective. PHC Prep’s unswerving commitment to Christ-centered education means that the Christian worldview is built into every course. Not only do students learn what the Bible has to say about the subject they are studying, but they also learn how to articulate and defend the Christian worldview to others. At the end of each course, students take the Patrick Henry College Preparatory Academy Final Exam in that subject, covering Christian worldview in addition to past AP* exam material. The worldview emphasis ensures that students are prepared for college both academically and spiritually.
High-level academic instruction prepares your student for the AP exam and fosters important college skills. At PHC Prep, our classes exceed the standard for college-prep courses. Each course meets the College Board’s rigorous requirements for an official AP designation, fully preparing students for the related AP exam. Taught by Patrick Henry College professors and other hand-selected Christian teachers, the courses offer high-level instruction that develops the skills crucial for success at the most demanding colleges.
Convenient online format combines the flexibility of independent study with the best of classroom learning. Through our user-friendly course management software, students have 24/7 access to course materials and can submit assignments with the click of a mouse. Lectures are presented in text, audio, and audiovisual formats, and students interact with each other and their instructors through message boards, chat rooms, and email. The flexibly structured classes allow students to complete their coursework around other activities and commitments.
