A connected community of students pursuing academic excellence.
At New Saint Andrews College, education happens within a tight-knit group of friends, church communities, and student clubs. Our pursuit of academic excellence means that the education is rigorous.
NSA implemented a three-hall system a few years ago which created a stronger student body and quickly became an integral part of the college culture. NSA groups undergraduate students into three halls so they interact and work more closely with each other. The halls—Jericho, Ashdown, and Malta—each have administration positions which allow students to develop and practice leaderships skills.
New Saint Andrews students live and mature within a greater context of real community. This means signing leases and renting apartments and houses from local people where their neighbors are more than their peers. We consciously chose a different path than the dorm model because we believe young men and women should gain stature and independence in a setting that reflects life after college.
We intentionally keep our student-to-faculty ratio small. The community of the college is built on the desire for students to translate academic success to the real world. Students are more than a face in a classroom— they are mentored and given the skills to flourish after college.
Civics Club serves as a segue between college life and civic life. At our meetings, we seek to understand how local government functions. What is the difference between city and county government? What can you do in your community to make a difference? At NSA’s Civics Club, we explore various answers to these questions. Each year, we host an open candidate forum in Moscow for city or state candidates. Join us and discover how you can be a leader who shapes civic culture under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
In conjunction with local Trinity Reformed Church, New Saint Andrews students have been raising money and awareness for the oppressed church in the states and abroad. Their fundraising includes charity races, community services, balls, and dinners. You can find out more about Students for the Relief of the Oppressed on their official Facebook page.
Rugby is a long held tradition at New Saint Andrews College. An annual custom is the pumpkin rugby match, where teams celebrate the spirit of fall and the Reformation by using pumpkins instead of rugby balls. To get more information on rugby, you can contact rsundlie@nsa.edu.
Winter is volleyball season for the women of New Saint Andrews College. Coached by fellow students, volleyball is a regular social event for the college to come and watch the games and the final tournament. To get more information on volleyball, you can contact us directly.
NSA Rowing will be entering its seventh year. In that time we have trained many college students to become Christian athletes, heroes who overcome for the glory of their Forerunner. The program joyfully pushes students to their max, with the hope of faithfully representing NSA and Christ by medalling at the National Championships. Spots may be limited. Please reach out to grabinskyj@yahoo.com to express your interest.
Why should you start fencing? Fencing offers numerous benefits, such as improved hand-eye coordination, enhanced cardio through quick-twitch movements, better control of small motions, and sharper reflexes, all while giving you Inigo Montoya swag. Beyond physical improvements, fencing fosters the development of a tactical mind, careful aggression, and personal discipline, making it a holistic sport that can be practiced safely in co-ed settings. Swordsmanship has been linked to classical Christian education for centuries, making it a fitting tradition to continue. We primarily train in foil but have representatives for all three weapons. We meet twice a week and provide club gear. If you're interested in joining, contact us at pmurrell22@nsa.edu
The creation of art is essential to culture-shaping. The world knows this: no history curriculum would be complete without a study of the great artists. NSA knows this: from the recent drawing electives to the hall art competition, NSA has made a clear effort to incorporate the visual arts into student life. There is still work to be done. As rhetors must be fluent in language before they can speak effectively, so too must artists be fluent in the techniques of visual art before they can communicate compellingly. The goal of the Fine Arts club is to promote independent study of the arts and provide the community necessary to foster talented, godly artists. The club allows students to create art throughout the year, engage directly with Moscow culture in art events, and learn new skills from local artists. Want to get involved? Email dulcistutzman@gmail.com or eharris21@nsa.edu.
The goal of the Athletics Club is to provide physical and mental training on top of NSA's rigorous academics. Students will get weekly training and access to workout resources for their personal and sports endeavors. Anyone from years of sports experience to none is welcome to join. For more information, contact theosentz@gmail.com.
After a long week of school, there’s perhaps nothing better than dribbling a ball across the field or swinging one’s foot through a soccer ball and watching it whoosh through the air to land perfectly at the feet of a teammate. Precision. Endurance. Teamwork. Finesse. Connection. Such is the beautiful sport of soccer. NSA Soccer Club (NSA SC) seeks to foster love and skills in this universal sport that allows for team building, connection, individual prowess, and a vital way to strengthen the body physically. Whether you’re a soccer fanatic, sport lover, or just want to improve your soccer skills, this club is for you.
