The Houses are one of the most distinctive
dimensions of life at The King’s College – central to your entire experience
here. Through your House, you develop friendships; move from theory to
experience; and learn to integrate into every part of your life all that you are
learning at the King’s College.
The King’s College Houses breathe life into
the student body.
Strong Relationships
Houses are communities in which students develop strong ties and discover the
meaning of friendship. These relationships will last for years to come.
Spiritual Growth
Whether it’s connecting in small groups, praying for each other, or working
together on a project to influence people in New York City, Houses provide
multiple opportunities for Christian growth. House members challenge one
another to pursue God.
Intellectual Life
Houses support the intellectual life of King's. Whether it is academic
accountability through the Scholar, faculty-led book discussions, or attending
issue-oriented events in New York City, Houses provide opportunities for
members to think deeply about the ideas that move the world.
Leadership
Culture
Students lead students and learn invaluable lessons about teamwork and
influence. Upperclassmen, elected by their peers, shape the House and,
consequently, the entire student body.
Cause-Centered
House involvement opens doors to make a difference. Members work together to
influence New York City, reaching out to local high schools, coordinating
blood drives, or mentoring urban youth. Some even travel together to other
nations.
