Liberal Arts and Sciences
There is immense intrinsic value in a Christ-centered Liberal Arts and Sciences education from Cascadia, but beyond that, it also provides numerous practical advantages.
It is our vision that the Cascadia graduate will demonstrate proficiency in a comprehensive, four-year, college-preparatory liberal arts curriculum, resulting in an AAOT degree (a distinction only found at Cascadia Prep), which emphasizes not only intellectual excellence but also Christian character and service. This Christ-centered liberal arts education offers several practical benefits.
Leadership and Highly Marketable Skills
Graduates from Cascadia come away with a powerful set of skills and leadership qualities that make them stand out in the job market. They're great at solving problems creatively and working well with others, which is crucial in any career. Their critical thinking skills help them analyze information and make smart decisions.
Cascadia graduates are also excellent communicators. They can speak persuasively and write clearly, making complex ideas easy to understand. Plus, they have strong analytical reading skills, allowing them to dive deep into various texts and grasp important details—skills that are valuable no matter what path they choose.
Research backs this up: employers really value these broad skills for long-term career success. According to the Harvard Business Review, "research shows that employers overwhelmingly endorse broad learning and cross-cutting skills as the best preparation for long-term career success." This means that the well-rounded education you get at Cascadia not only helps you land your first job but also sets you up for a successful career in the long run.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
“In fact, research shows that employers overwhelmingly endorse broad learning and cross-cutting skills as the best preparation for long-term career success.”
A Firm Foundation in Character and Ethics
At Cascadia, students get more than just academic knowledge—they build a strong moral foundation and learn how to reason ethically. Through reading and discussing ideas together, students engage in conversations that help build their character, foster integrity, and strengthen their relationships.
These discussions teach students to tackle tough questions and appreciate diverse perspectives. They learn to see things from different angles and understand where others are coming from.
