     The degree programs of St. Michael Academy of Eschatology are designed solely for religious vocations of professional ministers to fulfill their ecclesiastical academic requirements.  St. Michael Academy has authorization to operate status by Florida Department of Education as a religious institution under Commission for Independent Education.

MISSION AND GOAL

The premise of our Orthodox institution is to teach and qualify individuals:

1. For an ordination to the Holy Priesthood
2. Preparation to ministry in the body of Christ
3. Preparation for laity to serve in the Holy Ecclesia.

Incorporating and utilizing the 5-fold ministry: "Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and
Teacher" used to equip, or perfect, the saints for the work of the ministry with resultant edification, that is, growth of the Church. Churches, which grow, must, by definition, have a sense of God's vision for them.  God's vision is His unique assignment for a given parish to accomplish in ministry to achieve the prophetic and visionary roles each has in God's Vision which is God's Will for them.
