Rivendell Sanctuary

Rivendell Sanctuary is an 18-month Associate of Arts degree program focused on preparing high school graduates to excel academically, spiritually, morally, and socially in college and citizenship.

In our IN-COMM™ program, students learn withIN COMMunity and never change classes, classmates, or professors. Based on Christ’s model of apprenticeship, all incoming freshmen are placed in small learning communities of 25-30 and joined by 4 exceptional faculty, all of whom remain together for their entire Rivendell education. The close support and attention we provide each student is unrivaled. Rivendell students are apprenticed in the fundamentals of learning and living – a lost art – with the end goal of not simply becoming an honor student but rather a
Student of Honor™.

Students are led through Rivendell's Sequenced Modular Education™, a revolutionary curriculum whereby the liberal arts and sciences are studied one subject at a time in a sequence that follows the flow of the biblical narrative. Rivendell’s Sequenced Modular Curriculum™ exceeds the requirements for an Associate of Arts degree, fulfills the general education requirements for most colleges, and grants 72 credit hours of collegiate studies.

Upon completing their Rivendell degree, students are qualified for transfer to the college of their choice to complete their Bachelor’s degree. Students leave Rivendell prepared for excellence in college and life after college. The combination of Rivendell’s foundational degree followed by a vocational degree gives students a complete education and equips them for true success in life.
