Students

OUR STUDENTS

Our students are from the Episcopal / Anglican Diocese of Egypt with North Africa and the Horn of Africa, Anglicans from around the Anglican Communion, and from other denominations who are willing to live, worship and study as part of the AST community.

Currently we have approximately 150 students enrolled in the following programs:

  • Diploma of Theology (2 Years)
  • Bachelor of Theology (4 Years)
  • Master of Early African Christianity (3 Years) 

All students are required to sign the following “Student Covenant” :

Student Covenant

We do covenant to serve the Lord and each other in the following ways:

We commit ourselves to the discipline of private and public worship. We will spend a daily time in prayer and biblical meditation. We shall attend AST chapel services (Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Holy Communion) when present on campus.

Those of us who are married commit ourselves to spend a responsible amount of time with our spouses and children. Those who are single will establish and maintain a local network of friends for prayer, fellowship, and support.  We pledge ourselves to sexual fidelity in marriage and chastity in the single state.

As members of Christ’s Body, we will involve ourselves in the community life of AST, so that we may rejoice, laugh, and weep together. We will seek to love one another as Christ loves us. We will refuse to gossip but instead speak words of encouragement. We will confront one another openly and seek reconciliation when offense has been given.

We are gathered as a community of learning. Students will attend assigned classes and other activities as prescribed and will take seriously the Anglican worship of the Lord with our minds in all our studies.  We will uphold Biblical ethics, especially in terms of academic honesty.

While specially gathered for study, we are also gathered for mission and service to those outside the School. We commit ourselves to devote regular time, talent, and treasure to personal evangelism, neighborly visitation, and public service.

We thank God for our common calling in covenant with Him and with each other. We ask help from our closest associates – family members, advisors and advisees, co-workers and friends – to be faithful to our commitments, and we trust that the Holy Spirit will guard and guide us in this task.
