Patrick Henry College, located in the rural town of Purcellville, Virginia, approximately 50 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., occupies a 119-acre campus in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Established in 2000 with a focus on classical liberal arts and a Christian worldview, the college maintains strict adherence to evangelical Protestant principles throughout its academic programs. The institution is known for its pre-law and government programs, with many graduates pursuing careers in public policy, law, and government service, particularly through its strong connections to federal government internship opportunities in nearby Washington, D.C. Students are required to live on campus in single-sex dormitories unless residing with family in the local area, and the college enforces a formal honor code and dress code consistent with its conservative Christian values.
