A Message from the Dean

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” (2 Cor 2:14)

By the Grace of God, the prayers of the saints, and our dedicated board, faculty, and staff Saint Athanasius and Saint Cyril Coptic Orthodox Theological School has just achieved accreditation status by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC)! This marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to academic excellence and the cultivation of strong Orthodox faith-based education.

This accreditation underscores our commitment to maintaining rigorous standards of quality and integrity, ensuring that every graduate from ACTS holds a degree of recognized value and credibility. With this accreditation, you can trust that the education received here not only equips students with essential skills for their chosen paths but also deepens and enriches their faith journey in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accreditation brings several significant benefits for our students:

• Enhanced Credibility: An accredited degree is widely recognized and respected, increasing graduates' competitiveness in the job market and in further academic pursuits.

• Assured Quality: Accreditation guarantees that the institution meets high standards of education, ensuring that students receive a rigorous and comprehensive learning experience.

• Transferable Credits: Credits earned at an accredited institution are more likely to be accepted by other universities, facilitating smoother transitions for students pursuing advanced degrees or transferring schools.

At ACTS, our mission is to provide quality Orthodox Christian distance education. Our programs prepare students to become Christian leaders who are spiritually mature, biblically and theologically responsible, professionally competent, intellectually astute, and deeply committed to sharing the truth of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We invite you to join His Eminence in celebrating this significant achievement with us and to stay connected with ACTS. Learn more about our accredited programs and upcoming events by visiting our website.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to continuing this journey of learning, growth, and spiritual discovery together! May the Lord continue to bless you in each part of your life and service for the glory of His Name and the spread of His Kingdom.
