Academic Learning

Academic learning forms an important part of the Academy experience. Forming the majority of the weekly schedule, students will engage in interactive classes taught by world class teaches. These classes touch on a variety of subjects and seek to partner strong biblical teaching inspired by the Holy Spirit. Through these classes students are empowered intellectually and practically, understanding what they believe and why they believe it, strengthening their faith and drawing them closer in relationship to the Father. Classes subject to change but currently are:

Retreats

As a part of the course curriculum, students attend two week long retreats, one at the beginning of the year and one at the end.

At the first intensive students are provided the opportunity to develop connection with their fellow students as well as the lecturers. There are also times of worship, encounter and teaching. Its purpose is to set the foundation, begin to develop culture and posture hearts for the year ahead.

The second retreat is held at the end of the year and is a time of celebration and, reflection and commissioning. It is also a time of preparation for the next season the students will move into. Our end of year retreat is always a highlight as students reflect and share testimonies of everything God has done throughout the year.
