New Saint Andrews College

Nestled in the heart of downtown Moscow, Idaho, New Saint Andrews College stands as a distinctive institution dedicated to classical Christian education. Since its founding in 1994 with just four students, NSA has rapidly grown into a vibrant academic community, graduating its first class in 1998. It has carved out a unique niche, attracting students seeking an rigorous education rooted in faith and tradition.

The college quickly garnered national attention, appearing on the Christian Broadcasting Network in 2006 and earning a spot on the Intercollegiate Studies Institute's list of top 50 schools for 'conservatives, old-fashioned liberals, and people of faith' in the same year. Its unique approach was further highlighted when it was featured in The New York Times Magazine in 2007, solidifying its reputation as a significant voice in higher education.

With a tight-knit student body of 221, NSA offers an intimate learning environment. Students benefit from a campus deeply integrated into the historic fabric of Moscow, occupying the iconic Skattaboe Block and actively planning expansion for new facilities like a music conservatory. Under the leadership of President Benjamin R. Merkle since 2014, the college remains committed to its mission, fostering a particular worldview that shapes its educational offerings and community life, drawing individuals dedicated to its distinct vision.
