Student Leadership
Overview | The King's

Current OrganizationsThe
King’s College academic program is crafted to prepare students for leadership in
strategic national institutions: government, commerce, law, the media, civil
society, education, the arts, and the church. It is classical in approach,
meaning that we want students to understand the great ideas that have shaped
human history. Toward that end, we introduce students to ideas that are true for
all times and all people and strive to develop in them the wisdom and skill to
apply that information in everyday situations. In this way, students begin to
understand universal principles and develop the prudence to apply these ideas
congruently and consistently to specific situations. In short, we are developing
potential statesmen.
Every student at The King’s College takes a set of courses grounded in
politics, philosophy, and economics – those areas of study that have the most
influence in shaping society. However, knowledge is not learned in a vacuum,
therefore, Student Development serves the vision of the College in two main
ways: first, we create opportunities for students to test their knowledge by
providing them opportunities to lead; and second, we provide skills training
that coincides with the leadership challenges faced by student leaders – and
encourage the transference of this knowledge to the student body. This
experiential learning strategy – primarily implemented through The King’s
Council and the House System, allows for the integration of theory and practice
to equip students to shape the College today and society tomorrow.
