While still catering a high class secular education, as well as pastoral care. The teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe continue to define the educational philosophy of Kesser Torah College.

The college is co-educational to Year 1. Boys and girls are taught separately from Years 2–6 in the primary school and in the high school.
