Institute for Christian Studies

The Institute for Christian Studies is a community-supported graduate school in the Kuyperian stream of the Reformed tradition. For nearly five decades, ICS has promoted a radically Christian approach to the scholarly task in interdisciplinary philosophy and theology, developing leaders for the academy and other areas of service, and enhancing the cultural discernment of believers. We continue to prepare new generations who will birth ideas that move the Christian community closer to the Lord of all, that breathe the air of the Holy Bible and of the Christ therein revealed. Our alumni are in leadership roles around the world, in the academy and society more broadly. ICS opens up a vibrant and intimate space for learning, combining the expertise of an experienced, widely-published faculty with the advantages of a small graduate school. Our affiliation with the Toronto School of Theology enables an authentic faith-based dialogue between philosophy and theology. Those who study here will be challenged, but within a supportive community united in serving the God of the Scriptures as the Lord of learning.
