A Home Away From Home
Belmont Abbey College is no stranger to homeschoolers; many of our students have been homeschooled for at least one year of their life or are former homeschoolers just like you! This is an exciting and perhaps nerve-wracking time for you as you decide on a college. You’re not just picking a meal plan or a residence hall, you are picking out your future home for the next four years. The Benedictine hospitality starts with our Monastic presence, but it extends out to the student body. Our small tight-knit community makes it easy to make friendships quickly, friends that you will instantly want to carry onward beyond your four years here and keep for the rest of your life.
The Abbey Education
An Abbey education builds an excellent academic foundation, provides the expertise that each student gains in his or her major discipline, grounds that learning with internship opportunities, integrates the whole student through a variety of rewarding and fun co-curricular opportunities, and equips each Abbey graduate to be a good person, a successful professional, and a responsible citizen.
Traditions and Values
The Catholic Benedictine traditions and values upon which the College was founded over 140 years ago inform all aspects of campus life, including academics. Benedictine monks take three vows: stabilitas, conversatio morum, and obedientia which when translated simply mean stability, being amenable to change and improvement, and listening. Belmont Abbey College provides a stable environment in which to listen, discuss and learn, to grow, and become open to change.

I love it here because I have found friends that push me in developing virtue, professors that genuinely try to lead me to the truth, monks that are like my brothers or grandfathers and athletics that have pushed me to be the best I can be.
