Worldview at the Abbey is a Christian gap year program associated with Worldview Academy summer camps. Bill Jack, Jeff Baldwin, August Huckabee, and Hannah Hall founded the Abbey in 2014, and the curriculum centers around a Socratic teaching of classical texts in general education classes such as literature, political science, history, and economics, as well as teaching rhetoric, and apologetics from a Christian worldview. Along with classroom teaching, students engage in community service and leadership initiatives throughout the year to solidify the teaching in the classroom.

This Saturday we wrapped up our second semiannual Preview at the Abbey. Students from as far away as Indiana and Washington traveled to Canon City, Colorado to participate in classes taught by Bill Jack, Nathan Pegors and Jeff Baldwin and to learn more about the Worldview at the Abbey bridge year program.

The event kicked off Friday afternoon with a brief welcome in the library, followed by a discussion comparing presuppositionalism and evidentialism in our Advanced Worldview and Apologetics course taught by Nathan Pegors. After a rousing pick-up game of ultimate frisbee and a delicious dinner, students and their parents enjoyed a Night at the Movies with chancellor Bill Jack.

After breakfast on Saturday, prospective students watched our current students lead a museum tour and then reconvened in the library to hear provost Jeff Baldwin teach how to find the central theme in literature and in movies. The cafeteria provided a satisfying lunch highlighted by BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, and then it was time for a short farewell ceremony.

Ten prospective students attended the weekend with their parents. Enrollment at Worldview at the Abbey will be capped at 24 students in 2016. We will offer a second Preview at the Abbey March 18th - 19th. Contact Hannah Hall at hhall@worldview.org for more information.
