• Theological knowledge: a coherent understanding and spiritual encounter of the Orthodox Christian theological tradition in light of Eastern Christian wisdom.
• Theological skills: the ability to reflect, analyze, synthesize, communicate, interpret, and apply that tradition in a religiously and culturally diverse world.
• To create a communal environment that nurtures collaboration, inspires an apostolic spirit, and supports the development of the spiritual life appropriate to work and ministry in a changing world.
• Leadership skills: the ability to interact with others in a spirit of openness and collaboration, to communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
• Spiritual maturity: an integration of affective and intellectual growth and commitment to the practice of spiritual disciplines, both personal and communal.
• To affirm the richness of intercultural diversity through the ways in which we foster community, construct our learning environments, and invite students, staff, and faculty to share their intercultural experiences and insights as a means of shaping students’ academic understanding, spiritual development, and pastoral practice.
• Intercultural communication: an ability to interact with persons of diverse cultures with empathy, mutuality, and respect

These broad goals arise out of the ways in which students and faculty, staff, and public partners participate in the school’s programs. Each of these, in turn, aligns with Program Learning Outcomes for degree programs, and Student Learning Outcomes in individual courses.
