The King’s College is not your typical school.

Our entire focus is on preparing exceptional students for principled leadership.

By leadership, we mean something very specific. We educate students for service in America's public and private institutions of government, commerce, law, the media, civil society, education, the arts, and the church.

Our curriculum is unique. Rather than offering scores of majors, our academic program is centered on three of the most important and challenging disciplines: politics, philosophy and economics.

We are distinctive in other ways. We are in New York City. Our campus is both the capital of the world and the “belly of the beast.” And New York has already taken notice of our efforts. (Read about The King’s College in the Village Voice and The New Yorker).

Are institutions that take faith seriously able to compete with the Ivy League? For almost two decades, I worked with professors from more than 900 universities, so I understand what these schools do well – specifically the useful disciplines like engineering, the sciences and the professional schools.

For all of the sophistication and prestige of elite colleges, too many of their professors teach spent ideas – ideas that had ill consequences in our generation. Why is this? The conventional academic wisdom is  wrong about God, human nature, wealth, power, marriage, poverty, family, sex, America, liberty, peace, and many other decisive issues.

Come visit us in the Empire State Building. You will not be disappointed.

Sincerely yours,

J. Stanley Oakes
Chancellor
