We support local and international students as they journey towards a deeper understanding of Orthodox Christianity and spirituality, helping them grow in their faith as they prepare for diverse fields of ministry.
SAC provides a positive and supportive learning environment nurturing spiritual growth and cultivating the gifts of each individual. This is achieved through the pursuit of prayer, knowledge, communication, service and fellowship to each other, through the Grace of God. Our students are equipped with the ministry skills and confidence to serve in the priesthood and religious life. We also prepare lay people to serve as theologians, religious educators, youth leaders and mission workers.
Classes are held at our Donvale Campus, based on 22 acres of bushland in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, and our Eporo Tower Campus which is located in the Melbourne CBD. Residential facilities are onsite for full-time and part-time students, to help them more fully participate in liturgy, prayer and community life.
