The C. S. Lewis Foundation has announced today that land has been purchased for the establishment of a C. S. Lewis College in Northfield, Massachusetts.
The former site of D. L. Moody’s Northfield Seminary for Young Women (later, the Northfield Mount Hermon High School) was purchased by Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. for the school. (The High School recently had consolidated with their Mount Hermon campus.)
C. S. Lewis College is envisioned as a fully accredited ecumenical Christian institution of Great Books and Visual and Performing Arts. Plans are to matriculate the first class in the fall of 2012.
C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) is the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, the seven books on which the Walden Media series is based.
