World View Classes are taught by Dana Tillman in McKinney, Texas. Michael Farris, founder of Home School Legal Defense Association and the National Center for Home Education, and the President of Patrick Henry College, says this about the "World Views of the Western World", the curriculum taught in the World View Classes.
“One of the best programs I have seen that offers a clearly Christian classical education is David Quine's World Views of the Western World, published by the Cornerstone Curriculum Project…World Views is a three-year program that is built largely around the works of Francis Schaeffer. Students still read Homer, Socrates, and Machiavelli. But these are balanced not only by Schaeffer's works, but also by St. Augustine, Luther, and Calvin. Cornerstone's World Views is in its first edition and has many good features in place that make it quite usable for most home schooling mothers who don't have the time to sit and read classical literature for fifteen to twenty hours a week. .....World Views is academically challenging, Christian-based, and provides a good exposure to classical literature, history, art, and music. It is superior to almost all high schools, as well as to the liberal arts components offered in most colleges and universities.”
