About Sattler College

Sattler College is a private college in Boston, Massachusetts, that associates itself with "the historic Christian faith." Opened in 2018, the college aims to "equip Jesus' peaceful revolution" through relational discipleship and academic excellence. The school was founded by Dr. Finny Kuruvilla (former research fellow at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT). The first president of the college was Dr. James W. Bradford. In 2019, he was replaced by Dean Taylor. In 2022, Zack Johnson succeeded him, and in 2025, Dr. Finny Kuruvilla assumed the role of interim president. Named for sixteenth-century Anabaptist Christian martyr Michael Sattler, the school welcomed its first class in the fall of 2018, received national accreditation in 2021, and graduated its first class in May 2022. Projected external funding for the school is $30 million over the course of 25 years. Its campus is in a high-rise office building in downtown Boston, overlooking the Charles River and Massachusetts State House.
