The Alexandria School of Theology (AST) was founded in 2005 as a strategic venture of the Episcopal / Anglican Diocese of Egypt with North Africa and the Horn of Africa to serve the Kingdom of God and grow Christ’s church through theological and spiritual formation of Christian leaders. It is the only Anglican theological institution in the Middle East that teaches primarily in Arabic.

AST trains both Christian lay people and clergy to serve Christ in the Anglican Church as well as in other churches in their region of the world. The school offers courses up to PhD level, with PhD graduates often returning to the college as lecturers. During their studies, students cover the three main areas of academic formation, spiritual formation & church activities, and mission & community engagement.

AST’s two campuses, in Cairo and Alexandria, are preparing students for youth ministry, evangelism and teaching God’s word in churches.
