New Saint Andrews College
About
New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho, is a premier classical Christian liberal arts institution best known for its rigorous, theology-focused education centered on the Great Books and classical languages. Rather than offering separate departments, the college's academic hallmark is its singular, highly integrated B.A. in Liberal Arts and Culture that challenges students to master theology, history, philosophy, and literature through a Reformed Christian lens. The student experience is defined by a close-knit, faith-centered community integrated into the local town, featuring vibrant traditions like weekly community singing and formal academic disputations. Distinctively, the college sets itself apart by intentionally rejecting all federal funding to preserve its institutional freedom, providing a highly independent and intellectually demanding environment for prospective scholars.
