Wisdom.
Virtue.
Service.
Located in beautiful Franklin, Tennessee, New College Franklin is a four-year Christian Liberal Arts college dedicated to excellent academics and discipling relationships among students and faculty.

Spiritual Formation
We seek to enrich and disciple students intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, to guide them to wisdom and a life of service to God, neighbors, and creation.

Classical Tradition
Intellectual development occurs through conversation in small classroom settings covering the great works of literature, philosophy, and theology, and the trivium and quadrivium.
