Sancta Sophia Seminary offers an esoteric Christian education without requiring you to become a full-time on-campus student. Because much of your wisdom studies can be completed from home, you may begin at any time. Sancta Sophia has open enrollment. Visit our Admissions page for full details.

Your studies will consist of directed home-study combined with on-campus classes—allowing you to continue in your present occupation as you work toward personal growth, a seminary degree, or spiritual career. Your individual interests and goals will guide the direction of your wisdom studies as you work closely with a personal advisor.

From this metaphysical studies foundation of the universal teachings from ancient wisdom sources, you may pursue ministerial ordination or become a teacher of esoteric philosophy, It is also requisite for the Doctoral and Master Degrees. See Degrees and Certifications.

A Spiritual Education Experience as Unique as You Are

As an interfaith seminary, we welcome all, regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, or sexual orientation, age, religion, handicap, or status as a veteran. Interfaith seminary degrees and ministerial ordinations are conferred to male and female alike.

Because you are an individual, your esoteric studies must also be individual. Your transformative process will be designed just for you. It will include:

  • Home study
  • On-campus study
  • Meditation
  • Practicum
  • Personal advisor (a spiritual mentor for your metaphysical studies)

Home Study

Much of your mystery school course work will be completed at home through reading, meditation, and listening to recordings. To supplement the course materials, students are welcome to borrow books and tapes and CDs from the Sancta Sophia Wisdom Studies Specialty Library. You will also be able to communicate with your personal advisor as you progress through home study.

If your desire is to enrich your own life through esoteric studies, without pursuing a degree, certification, or ordination in esoteric Christianity, you may choose to attend on-campus classes or enroll in our online classes. These classes will assist you in creating a life of love, hope, light, and joy—and in attaining the shift in consciousness toward healing, wholeness and holiness.

If you wish to receive ministerial ordination, we require that you attend certain one-week classes on campus in addition to your home study. Each degree or certification carries its own requirements for on-campus study—all require a certain number of weeks on campus during your chosen course of study. Your personal spiritual advisor will assist you in planning your on-campus time.
