The main campus of the Anglican Seminary of Virginia (ASV) is near Front Royal, Virginia, USA, and is located on the grounds of the home of the bishop. It is
about one hour from Dulles Airport and Washington, D.C. And consists of twenty acres in the mountains of Virginia. Our goal is to prepare men to become
Anglican deacons and priests. Additionally, our studies include preparing women to be religious workers and deaconesses. We seek to support women and
men in their journey who are seeking vocations as brothers and nuns. We have two orders associated with our diocese and they are the Sisters of the
Community of Compassion and the Order of St. Benedict. Our work to train men for ordination is a priority based upon serious needs and shortages..
The Anglican Seminary of Virginia is recognized worldwide and is a leader in education. The Anglican Church of Virginia and the Anglican Church
International Communion approved our studies and course work. Graduates who are pursuing vocations as clergy are eligible for ordination upon successful
completion of studies and approval of the Council on Holy Orders of the respective dioceses where students reside or plan to serve.
ASV is a new institution of learning established in 2004 by the Bishop of Virginia and accredited by the Accreditation Council of the Anglican Church
International Communion. The College of Bishops of the Anglican Church International Communion accredited ASV in June of 2007 at the Bishops' Synod in
Jamestown, Virginia. The Anglican Seminary of Virginia has licensed bishops in Australia, Haiti, Columbia, India and the Philippines to offer its seminary
educational program where many students are now preparing for ministry.
Diplomas and certificates are granted to students who meet our standards and complete their studies at ASV. The educational learning system utilized by the
ASV for the preparation of religious workers, ordained clergy, and deaconesses is a process called "reading for orders," or "cooperative education." Reading
for orders has been employed in the Anglican Church for many centuries. It is an apprenticeship process and a very effective and practical way to learn. It
includes theoretical material coupled with "hands on experience." With the advent of the worldwide Internet this makes "reading" or "cooperative education" a
way seminarians and students may learn anywhere they live and learn in one of the most efficient and practical ways known to education. For additional
reading and more detailed information contact the seminary.
It is recommended that men studying for orders should have already earned a degree, or have two years of college preparation. Exceptions may be made and
credit for life experience may be given to the older student as is traditional under the "old man's canon" or the "grey beard Rubric." There is a tuition fee which
is explained in the Official Catalogue and may be ordered from the bishop's office. It costs $25.00 plus shipping.
