Adela wants to shake up the codes and put the spirit of service into practice within its leadership and music training.

The Academy aims to test theological concepts, but above all to practice and follow the initial vision of forming worshippers.

As Adéléa’s training courses are community-based and practical, we do not offer distance learning courses.

The Swiss Confederation considers that the total cost of an academic year includes:

  • school fees
  • rents
  • residence permits
  • insurance coverage (mandatory)
  • the food
  • clothing
  • and everything else needed for training.

This represents at least the sum of about 25’000 Swiss Francs (CHF) per year by living in a very simple and economical way. This is an estimated budget. If this amount cannot be paid in advance, no certificate can be issued and consequently no VISA either.

You should first contact the Swiss representation in your country (embassy, consulate), to find out about the various requirements for obtaining a student visa.

Can I stay on campus?

Adéléa Academy works in partnership with the Lumen Home association to offer you housing solutions. Thank you for contacting us if you have any questions.

Can I take the course while working part-time?

We find it difficult to combine full-time training with part-time work.

What is an ECTS credit?

ECTS is the acronym for « European Credit Transfer System », in French « Système européen de transfert et d’accumulation de crédits ». This is a points system developed by the European Union to make it easier to read and compare the curricula of different European countries.

One ECTS credit represents between 25 and 30 hours of work, including study time.
