This curriculum’s goal is to set up basic academic knowledge, which contributes to the fulfillment of Church requirements, in terms of:
- Providing Orthodox pastors who are capable of caring for their parishioners with knowledge and piety.
 - Providing effective tools for priests and catechists to meet the cultural challenges of the contemporary world.
 - Providing opportunities to experience pastoral life and launch new pastoral training programs, which will benefit the Antiochian Orthodox Church as a whole.
 - Creating the appropriate atmosphere for intellectual, theological debates, which are directly related to the life of the Church.
