Reasons to GiveOur Focused and Unique Mission
According to Lipman-Hearne, the nations leading marketing and communications
firm that exclusively serves institutions of higher education, “The King's
College is a segment of one, the only institution of its kind”.
This uniqueness enables our graduates to compete for positions of influence
in America’s most influential industries: government, business, media, law,
education, and the church. Simply put, that’s the focus of The King's College
and our highly specialized mission is central to our operation. We strive to
only do a few things, and to do them extremely well.
Here at The King's College, we have made several deliberate choices that
highlight our distinctive way of educating. We have chosen to locate in the
heart of New York City, arguably the most strategic city in the world. We have
chosen to recruit the best faculty and staff in their respective fields. We have
chosen not to focus on rules. We train our students for life by treating them
like adults and encouraging them to conduct themselves with the highest level of
integrity. Each student signs an honor code that pledges not to lie, cheat or
steal, that’s it. At The King's College, the goal is not to simply follow rules
that govern our behavior set forth by the college, the goal is to become future
leaders.
Indeed, it is a unique institution.
Our Ideas are Competitive
At The King’s College, students develop a highly sophisticated biblical
worldview that will enable them to engage in the great debate over how to make a
better world and how to think about God, money, and power. Students learn how to
speak persuasively, write effectively, think critically, and understand money
and markets.
At The King's College, we do not tell our students what to think, instead
teach them how to think. We do this so that they can own their beliefs and
counter act bad ideas.
Our Students
Students who choose to come to The King’s College are highly motivated. With
an average SAT score of 1900 (based on the 2400 scale), they are among the
brightest of their peers. Their average test scores are comparable with students
at all the highest ranked Christian colleges in the nation. Students at The
King’s College are driven to excel in life.
Our Specialized Approach to Student Development
Armed with an understanding of what organizations look for in potential
employees, we help students acquire competencies that will make them more
successful. Not only do we educate students academically, we also provide
real-life leadership experience through which students hone skills and gain
confidence. Faculty and staff provide personalized evaluation of students’
progress and guide them in formulating plans for further growth.
Our Strategic Location: New York City
We have deliberately chosen to locate in the heart of New York City, which
is arguably the most influential city in the world. Though we could have chosen
to be in a cloistered environment, we operate where our students can learn to
engage the people and institutions where faith is not popular or assumed.
Home to some of the nation’s most influential institutions, New York City is
the perfect training ground for acquiring the skills and experiences necessary
for national impact. New York City provides our students with access to
internships in major media outlets, businesses, top law firms, influential
non-profits, and a world-class arts community.
Our Curriculum
Much of American education today substitutes job training for real education.
This is not the case at The King's College.
In order for our students to successfully compete in the world and emerge as
leaders, they need to have a biblical worldview that both understands the ideas
driving global trends and events. To this end, we have developed a unique core
curriculum consisting of courses in politics, philosophy, economics, history and
theology – the fields which examine the major institutions of our nation.
