Hartland’s Educational
System
Every student at Hartland College, regardless of their major, will develop skills and knowledge in the context of faith and learning integration. We believe that every class we teach should be rooted in real-life application of spiritual values. All our students will receive extensive training towards leading people to Christ through our intensive Bible school experience, religion classes, worships, canvassing programs, and outreach activities.
Students learn how to grow a variety of vegetables at our farm as part of their Redemptive Labor Experience. Hartland’s extra-curricular Christian health and wellness fitness program encourages students to appreciate God’s second book of nature. This includes a personalized physical fitness program as well as the opportunity to participate in canoeing, hiking, and many other enjoyable outdoor activities. Finally, Hartland students will be involved in our Music program, learning how to use Christian music as a witnessing tool.
There are a few more things you should keep in mind as you consider Hartland College . . .
Our school year begins in early June with the Summer Outreach Training School* experience that is required for all incoming first-year and transfer students. This intensive course gives missionaries-in-training a chance to bond with the members of their cohort while learning the basic Bible doctrines and soul-winning techniques that they will use throughout their outreach experiences at Hartland College.
*The summer outreach training program can also be taken during the sophomore year if needed.
We have focused on offering just five major fields of study—all designed for mission service. As such, most of our programs lead to four-year baccalaureate degrees which enables us to thoroughly prepare our graduates for their chosen field of mission, even if that eventually includes graduate school or seminary studies. We want all our graduates to be well-prepared for wherever the Lord might lead them.
Our classes are practical in orientation. This means that even though you are enrolled in school, you will still be actively engaged in missionary work, outreach, our Redemptive Labor Experience, and church assignments and similar activities outside of the classroom. Classroom instruction is only one part of the Hartland College curricular experience.
All our classes are taught from a wholistic, Seventh-day Adventist perspective that celebrates the Bible’s role in our lives and the prophetic ministry of Ellen G. White, the primary architect of Seventh-day Adventist education. We overtly integrate faith and learning concepts into every class that we teach.
Hartland College has chosen to adopt an on-campus dress code, social relations policy, and several other standards that we believe help maintain an exceptional learning environment for students, while maintaining the professional and spiritual atmosphere that we desire on our campus. Be sure to review these sections of the student handbook and ask yourself if you are comfortable following these standards before you apply
