The college is a four-year coeducational Roman Catholic Liberal Arts College with undergraduate and graduate programs offered in Front Royal Virginia, Donegal (Ireland), and Rome (Italy).

Founded in 1977 in response to the devastating blow inflicted on Catholic higher education by the cultural revolution which swept across America in the 1960s, Christendom’s goal is to provide a truly Catholic education in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and thereby to prepare students for their role of restoring all things in Christ.

Christendom’s challenging 86-hour core curriculum of carefully selected subjects required for all of its undergraduate students enables them to grow in wisdom and virtue, as well as to acquire the skills most sought by employers: critical thinking, written and oral communication excellence, adaptability, creativity, organization, and responsibility.
