  • A high school diploma or GED is necessary for entrance into the Diploma in Orthodox Theological Studies program.

Ordination

The Academy programs provide an excellent preparation for Diaconal ordination, or preparation for further priestly studies with an eye towards ordination, but ordination decisions lie exclusively with one’s bishop. There’s an old saying – “Necessity is the mother of ordination” – and there is never a guarantee of ordination in any educational or formative program.
