The Higher Orthodox Theological Courses named after Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir have opened enrollment for the 2026/2027 academic year.
The organizers invite both laypeople and clergy to deepen their spiritual knowledge. Students will study Holy Scripture, the theology of the Holy Fathers, liturgical life and Church history. The curriculum also includes the fundamentals of the Orthodox faith, dogmatic theology and moral theology. The theological school operates with the blessing of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine.
The administration offers both in-person classes and online lectures. In the theological department, online classes are held once a week. In the choir directing department, classes are held in person or online two to three times a week. In the icon-painting department, classes are held in person or online twice a week. The lectures are intended to help students on their path toward the knowledge of God and contribute to their personal spiritual growth.
Applicants will be admitted based on the results of an oral interview. Upon completing the program, graduates will receive a Church-issued diploma. Prospective students can submit their documents via Telegram at +38 (098) 278-83-50 or by phone at +38 (063) 649-00-83.
As the UOJ reported, a summer session for UOC laypeople began at the Horodok Monastery.
