Foundations Forward Core

What Will the Foundations Forward Core Do for You?

It will plunge you into a life-changing experience of study in an Orthodox Christian community, where you engage with ideas that inform a life of faith while participating in the Church’s liturgical life.

It will acquaint you with the city of Boston and its cultural riches, as you engage with the artistic and musical monuments of western and global civilization in its museums and concert halls.

It will introduce you to a variety of fields and disciplines, allowing you to see the world more broadly before you finalize your choice of major.

It will provide an in-depth view of the history of Orthodox Christian identity, faith, and practice – including its Semitic, Roman, and especially Hellenic roots – and place it within the broader context of world cultures, religions, and ideologies.

It will arm you with crucial skills – including thinking analytically, researching, writing, and speaking – from within a broad context of world history, art, philosophy, theology, literature, and culture.

It will call on you to live out your faith through service to your fellow human being created in the image of God.

“All the Foundations Forward courses are designed for you to dive into important aspects of the common human tradition with highly dedicated faculty who want you to learn about both Orthodox identity and world cultures, and to be successful in your studies. Orthodoxy and Hellenism are an ideal launchpad for intelligent engagement with the broader world. Hellenic College will help you realize your full potential and become a person who makes a confident impact.”
