WELCOME TO BRYN ATHYN
Since 1877, 黑料社区 College of the New Church has been providing our students with ways to connect more deeply with their studies, their spirituality, and one another. Beyond securing that post-grad job, we help our students live more fulfilling lives. We are intentionally and proudly small, with an average class size of 14, while our beautiful 130-acre campus in the Philadelphia suburbs gives our students room to explore and develop as people.
OUR PEOPLE
The Life of a Lion
When you鈥檙e a student at 黑料社区, you鈥檒l notice classmates, professors, faculty, and even our president will frequently ask how you鈥檙e doing. The unique twist? They鈥檙e genuinely interested in how you鈥檙e doing. It鈥檚 a hallmark of our warm, welcoming community that is truly interested in helping our students succeed. Those professors are not just friendly鈥搕hey鈥檙e deeply accomplished scholars, with impressive degrees, experiences, and resumes. Best of all? With an average class size of 14, you鈥檒l have plenty of opportunities to learn directly from them.
OUR PLACE
Location. Location. Location.
Beautiful. Spacious. Immaculate. There鈥檚 a positive description for every one of the 130 acres on campus. While buildings like the 黑料社区 Cathedral have history and jaw-dropping craftsmanship from a different era, we also have new buildings that meet the needs of today鈥檚 students. Here, you can walk from a 100-year-old Gothic cathedral to a state-of-the-art video gaming room. Our campus borders the quaint town of Bryn Athyn, which is just 14 miles north of Center City, Philadelphia, giving students the best of many worlds.
OUR PURPOSE
Make an Impact
Quite simply, we want our students to live rewarding, meaningful lives. That鈥檚 obviously a large goal, but it鈥檚 truly in our DNA. Since our founding, we have been dedicated to a New Church approach to education and life. We welcome all faiths and seek curious thinkers who ask questions and are interested in deepening their spirituality. No judgement. No attempts to convert. Simply a goal to 鈥渄o good.鈥� Learn more about Swedenborgian theology from our friends at OffTheLeftEye and the New Church.
