Programs described in its return (2)
  1. $230,128 spent. WORLDVIEW CRUX IS A ONE YEAR PROGRAM IN WHICH STUDENTS ENROLL IN FRESHMAN LEVEL COLLEGE CLASSES. THE MOVE TO THE STEEPLE AND REBRANDING AS WOLDVIEW CRUX DID HURT OUR STUDENT NUMBERS. IN 2025 WE GRADUATED EIGHT STUDENTS. THE NEW FACILITIES ARE EXCELLENT AND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STEEPLE LEADERSHIP IS STRONG. OUR FACULTY ARE ALL STILL HERE AND WE CONTINUE TO OFFER TRANSFERRABLE COLLEGE CREDIT THROUGH CORBAN UNIVERSITY FOR ALL OF OUR COURSES. WE CREATED AROUND 20 PODCASTS AND ABOUT 70 VIDEOS IN 2025. AS WE BEGIN TO GENERATE MORE INTEREST ON YOUTUBE AND SPOTIFY, WE EXPECT TO SEE AN UPTICK IN REGISTRANTS.
  2. PROVIDE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS TO GRADUATES OF THE WORLDVIEW ACADEMY LEADERSHIP CAMPS.
