Dordt College
Dordt College is a private Christian college founded in 1955 which takes its name from the Synod of Dort, a synod held in the Netherlands in 1618-1619. The reference to the synod may be explained by the college’s close affiliation with the Christian Reformed Church.
Located in Sioux Center, Iowa, Dordt College today embraces students from all parts of the country and other countries of the world who are interested in acquiring a Christ-centered education. It offers a comprehensive liberal arts education from the standpoint of a reformed Christian perspective.
