Mission&Vision
The College’s mission is to graduate leaders who shape culture, living faithfully under the lordship of Jesus Christ. We think of this as the unfolding of the Great Commission of our Lord—it’s living out our theology through our fingers. As New Saint Andrews College hopes to help rebuild civilization using the City of God as a model, we refuse to simply be intellectuals but to bring the high intellectual pursuits down to concrete acts of service.
Education Freed
President Ben Merkle defines truly free education. In the past eight years as College President, Dr. Ben Merkle has gained an insider's knowledge of higher education. Since traveling to high schools across the country, he has learned the anxieties of parents and students. With his unique experiences, he's explaining the deep problems of American colleges, their effects on students, and giving innovative answers.
Founding Ideas
Founder Doug Wilson lays out the foundational ideas behind New Saint Andrews College. New Saint Andrews College is known for its unmoving commitment to these essential building blocks.
Faith
Faith in Christ and his gospel are the foundation of New Saint Andrews College. All classes, events, and functions happen with Colossians 1:16-17 in mind: “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”
Theology
At New Saint Andrews, we recognize theology as the lodestar of all education—it orients every subject and class. Following the reformed tradition, we study theology’s two-fold foundation: the doctrines of God and scripture. You can learn more about the college’s theological education here.
Education
It’s clear that our culture needs more than intelligence—it also needs biblical wisdom. Guided by the light of Scripture, students converse with their professors and classmates through the classical western tradition to gain deep wisdom that can navigate all the challenges of life. They also gain an expansive and flexible set of mental skills enabling them to adapt and self-teach through professional careers.
Community
To shape culture, you need a culture to replace it with. As students engage the surrounding culture and the most challenging ideas in the western tradition, they commune with a body of saints within the college and Moscow—a culture known for its celebratory and staunch faith. All students confess the Apostolic Creed, attend local evangelical churches, and grow amongst a body of Christians who bow to Christ’s lordship and rejoice in his gospel.
