Direct peers

• St. John's College (Annapolis & Santa Fe): A US-based residential liberal arts college built around the 'Great Books' model with an integrated curriculum in philosophy, literature, history, mathematics, and science. Highly comparable to Campion's Great Books/Western tradition focus and small residential model.
• Thomas Aquinas College: A Catholic residential liberal arts college in the US that delivers an integrated Great Books curriculum with no electives and a strong community life. Closely matches Campion's Catholic, integrated, residential liberal arts model.
• Hillsdale College: A US independent liberal arts college with a required core curriculum centred on Western civilization and a strong residential community. Comparable in mission, curriculum emphasis on Western tradition, and small-college residential character.
• Christendom College: A US Catholic liberal arts college offering a Great Books core curriculum with a residential community and explicit integration of faith and reason. Mirrors Campion's Catholic intellectual framework and small residential scale.
• Wyoming Catholic College: A small US Catholic liberal arts college with a Great Books curriculum, required classics, and a strong residential and outdoor community. Directly comparable in size, Catholic mission, and integrated liberal arts offering.
• Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts: A small US Catholic liberal arts college with a Great Books curriculum, small class sizes, and a residential community ethos. Comparable in size, Catholic identity, and integrated humanities focus.
• Thomas More College of Liberal Arts: A small US Catholic liberal arts college with a Great Books curriculum and a tight residential community. Similar in scale, Catholic mission, and emphasis on integrated humanities education.

Broad incumbents

• University of Notre Dame Australia: An Australian Catholic university with multiple campuses offering a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Comparable as an Australian Catholic higher-education provider but with a much broader and less specialised portfolio than Campion.
• Australian Catholic University: Australia's publicly funded Catholic university, offering a wide range of disciplines including education, theology, and humanities across multiple campuses. Comparable as a Catholic higher-education competitor in Australia but at significantly larger scale and broader scope.

Others

• Bellarine Community Alliance / Campion-related Catholic secondary providers: Catholic secondary education providers (e.g., Catholic Schools NSW) act as feeder markets for Campion's Graduate Certificates in Religious Education and undergraduate recruitment. Relevant as upstream ecosystem partners rather than direct competitors.
