KINGS NEW JERSEY

Kings Education is a specialized, high quality international education group operating in the USA and UK. We offer our students a comprehensive choice of high quality English and university preparation and pathway courses, with an unrivalled range of outcomes.

Rider University

Located in the state of New Jersey, Rider University is a respected coeducational university with two campuses — one in the town of Lawrenceville and the other in nearby Princeton.

A private university which dates back to 1865, Rider offers more than 70 degree programs in business, education, liberal arts and sciences, and fine arts, music and performing arts.

The University’s 280 acre Lawrenceville campus provides the backdrop to Kings English programs, and our students benefit from a host of great facilities and attractive park-like surroundings.

NEW JERSEY

New Jersey enjoys a fantastic location on the Eastern Seaboard of the US, close to a range of major cities including New York, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. Known within America as the ‘Garden State’, its verdant state parks are complemented by thriving, cosmopolitan cities, and over 200km of beautiful coastline.

The state of New Jersey has over 60 institutions of higher education, including Ivy League university Princeton, which is only 10km away. The State is also a thriving center for industry. New Jersey is the headquarters of more than 20 Fortune 500 companies, and while there are many types of businesses based in the state, the life sciences, financial services, and IT industries are especially prominent.
