Kingsbridge Collegiate Hall
A Christ-Centered Path to Excellence in Higher Education
Empowering students through intellectual, spiritual, and vocational formation for the flourishing of communities in the Miami Valley through the transformative power of the Oxford tutorial model.
Welcome
Welcome to Kingsbridge Collegiate Hall, where faith, community, and academic excellence converge. Our mission is to reclaim higher education for Christ by equipping students to lead with wisdom, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to biblical principles. We are boldly redefining education through community-based Christian formation that offers genuine affordability, social impact, and holistic personal development. Our goal is to rebuild post-secondary education to strengthen and serve Christian families, businesses, and churches—not undermine them.
Reclaiming Higher Education
"We abdicated our responsibility to self-govern the formation of our next generation. We gave the reigns of human formation to unworthy stewards. We outsourced the most precious opportunity that God gave us to invest ourselves the formation of our children."
Dr. Nicholas Ellis on formation and flourishing (13 minutes)

The Four Pillars
Christ-Centered
Rooted in biblical, apostolic, and orthodox traditions, we serve families and communities committed to trinitarian Christianity. We welcome all denominations while maintaining our dedication to Jesus Christ and the Church's rich heritage.
Soul Formation
We see education as more than skill-building - it's about forming character and wisdom. Through faithful discipleship and community involvement, we prepare students for both earthly life and eternal purpose.
Self-Governance
Parents and faith communities are the primary stewards of education. While we provide resources and support, the ultimate responsibility for spiritual and academic growth remains with families and their local church.
Local Flourishing
Our model focuses on strengthening communities through local mentorship, discipleship, and professional development. We aim to nurture thriving families, businesses, churches, and civic institutions.

Professionally Accomplished
You have various options for your schooling, but few have the opportunity to partner with an accomplished professional with university teaching experience who holds advanced degrees and is also a decorated leader of Marines. Only Kingsbridge offers this.
Practicing Christian
It’s even harder to find someone who wants you to see that God is the structure of reality; that the shape of the world is Christian; and that Scripture is a picture of how the world actually is. The central message is “God Saves”. At Kingsbridge we believe Christians should have teachers and mentors who share their values.
