Our Practices

Liberal arts prepares the whole person for all of life. It teaches not just “what” to think, but also “how” to think. Having been properly trained, graduates will, over their lifetimes, be well positioned for faithful service at home, at church, in the marketplace, and in the wider world.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRACTICAL BENEFITS OF A LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION

Relationships are central to a Pacifica education. Students learn the abundant and joyful life is marked by giving and receiving grace in community. At Pacifica, we know each other well, and are known. In community we learn, grow in faith, attend games and art exhibits, and live life together. These experiences allow personal growth as students begin to share their virtue with the larger world.

Curiosity is the desire to know before we are sure what we seek and is the beginning of all great adventures. Inspired this way, the mind jumps at the opportunity of finding the truth. Friendships form as seekers gather, courageous and hopeful to find. At Pacifica, curiosity means belonging and togetherness in the earnest journey to believe truth, do good, and behold beauty.
