curriculum focused on Christian scripture; politics, philosophy and economics; and the traditional liberal arts.

Accreditation Since 2009, The King's College has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Student life During the 2016–2017 academic year, the college enrolled over 220 new students from 10 countries and 43 states, for a total enrollment of over 600 students. The average ACT score of the 2015 incoming class was 26, and the average SAT score was 1730 (on a 2400 scale). The King's College adopted the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as a third admissions option for students in the summer of 2016. Residence life King's does not require attendance at chapel services, and students are not required to sign a statement of faith, although faculty and staff are. Instead, students sign an honor code pledging not to "lie, steal, cheat, or turn a blind eye to those who do. Every student is honor bound to confront any other student who breaches the code." This is described by the school as "the minimum standard of ethical behavior that all students have contracted to live by." Students live in groups of three or four in apartments in high-rise apartment buildings in the Financial District and Brooklyn. During the summer, King's leases these apartments to students in the city for summer internships. King's has a house system. All incoming students are assigned to one of ten established houses, which are named after historic leaders: Ronald Reagan, C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Corrie ten Boom, Queen Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Winston Churchill, and Clara Barton. Students are encouraged to develop strong ties within their houses. During the year, they participate in inter-house competitions such as "The Great Race," a scavenger hunt throughout the city and the House GPA contest, where each house attempts to achieve the highest average GPA. The competitions are tracked throughout the year, with the winning house receiving the "House Cup." Houses also host events including dinners, dances, and annual events like the Super Bowl Party traditionally hosted by the House of Bonhoeffer, and the annual Red & Green Affair dance, hosted by the houses of Lewis and
