Kuyper OffersTheKee for Every Type of Student
What brings students to Kuyper's grassy corner of Grand Rapids? How is this school different from others that fill prospective students' m
ail boxes with stacks of literature every week? The difference isTheKee, the unique set of attributes that compose the Kuyper Education Experience.
We've already mentioned the dual biblical and academic strengths of our wide variety of professional majors. Kuyper's faculty members are experts in their respective fields, and they share their knowledge with students both in the classroom and as mentors in daily life. With one faculty member for every 15 students, Kuyper offers an environment that encourages idea exchange, fellowship, and the sense of belonging within a community of believers. And our Cost-Reduction Program enables students to attend regardless of their financial situation.
TheKee works for many types of students:
Traditional Students
The majority of Kuyper students are recent high school graduates ages 17 to 19. who are still feeling a bit of "senioritis" while eagerly-and perhaps nervously-anticipating college. At Kuyper they will find plenty of students with the same feelings.

Homeschooled Students
Some students who enroll at Kuyper come from a homeschool background. At Kuyper there are many students who can relate to that experience.
Nontraditional Students

Most students who are not coming directly from high school fall in this category, A typical nontraditional students is over the age of 25 and returning to school (or thinking about it). They may work full time, perhaps have a family and many other responsibilities. But one thing they have in common; they know that God has called them to go back to school and begin or advance their studies. The good news? Once God has called, he will most certainly pave the way for it to happen. Here at Kuyper College, we want to be an integral part of that. And part-time students will be in good company since 20 percent of Kuyper students are part-time.
