Patrick Henry offers two years of liberal arts studies, followed by two years of apprenticeship-based education, focusing on research projects and planned internships, some of them on Capitol Hill. Most students are taking six courses this semester. Students like the integration of Christianity throughout the day, from chapel to classroom discussions to prayers about the way to develop their student government. It does apply to every area of life. He completed one assignment that looked at how the biblical prophet Nathan began with a story, rather than a condemnation, when he approached David about his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba.

The school currently offers one major in government, but is seeking approval from a Virginia higher education council to offer a second major in classic liberal arts. The school, which does not accept government funding, depends solely on donations and the tuition paid by students. But because of construction delays for four dormitories, the students currently stay in people's homes within driving distance of the campus. Farris hopes the dormitories will be open by mid-November. Northrup is one of eight students living with a family of nine.
