'''Patrick Henry College''' (PHC), named for the [[Founding Father]] who immortalized the phrase, "give me liberty, or give me death," is an institution of higher learning founded by [[conservative]] [[Christian]] [[constitution]]al [[lawyer]] Mike Farris, with the intention of creating a prestigious college to prepare [[evangelical]] [[homeschooling|homeschooled]] students for public service.  The school is committed to Christian values and morality, which permeate academic and social aspects of campus life, and Farris' students often describe the school as "[[Harvard]] for Homeschoolers."

'''Patrick Henry College''' requires a specific statement of [[faith]] from its students and its faculty.  In 2006, several faculty members resigned in conflict over the statement, but their positions were quickly filled by others.

Farris founded PHC with the explicit goal of training the next generation of constitutional lawyers, politicians, and, hopefully, presidential candidates. PHC focuses on educating students for life in Washington, by teaching electoral strategy, encouraging participation in presidential campaigns, and facilitating a proactive belief in the ability of the individual to change America for the better.  In its short history, the college has succeeded wildly at this goal.  Facilitated by a strong network of supporters in the offices of [[Christian]] congressmen and Senators, as well as a reputation for producing qualified and diligent students, PHC places students at internships and post-graduation jobs on [[Capitol Hill]] at a rate out of proportion with its small size and short history.
