The Distance Theological Courses at the Spiritual and Educational Center of St. Genevieve of Paris are now enrolling students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The courses are aimed at meeting the needs of Orthodox dioceses and communities in Western Europe. They offer distance religious and theological education to candidates for the clergy and laypeople preparing to teach in parish schools, in catechetical and missionary courses, and to those heading youth and other parish associations. The courses are designed to enhance students' knowledge of Holy Scripture, Orthodox theology, Church history, and liturgical practice.
The courses are open to Orthodox Christian men and women aged 20 to 60 who have completed secondary education.
The courses are taught remotely, allowing you to:

- complete training entirely remotely;
- study using the modern Moodle distance learning system, used by many educational institutions worldwide;
