FOUR COORDINATES Core Program courses at Dordt are shaped by four focus points:
• Religious orientation • Creational structure • Creational development • Contemporary response
FOUNDERS’ VISION An education that is Christian not merely in the sense that devotional exercises are appended to the ordinary work of the college, but in the larger and deeper sense that all the class work, all of the students’ intellectual, emotional, and imaginative activities shall be permeated with the spirit and teaching of Christianity.
