School affiliated with
International Seminary of Theology and Leadership in Zurich
BACHELOR TO MINISTRIES
Founded on three pillars: worship, leadership & theology
Praise & Ministries
What and why?
Everything begins in praise and adoration, and everything ends in praise and adoration. This is why skills in worship and music are fundamental to any ministry today. Adéléa Academy offers a comprehensive training program for those called to serve Jesus Christ and His Church.
Students will be trained in both instrumental and musical skills. Totally musical, they will be able to exercise their ministry whether as a pastor, praise preacher or one of the other apostolic ministries (pastor, evangelist, teacher, prophet and apostle).
Is it for me?
Do you want to serve God? Do you like a challenge? Do you want to deepen your understanding of the Bible? Do you want to get out of your comfort zone? Are you ready to discover worship, the gifts of the Spirit and especially the gift of prophecy? If you can answer yes to at least one of these questions, then this is the school for you.

PREREQUISITES
To enroll for a Bachelor’s degree or Certificate in Ministries, you need a basic education of twelve years (e.g. a CFC vocational apprenticeship or a maturité or equivalent, baccalauréat, BTS or equivalent). You’re involved in a local church and your pastor supports your decision for ministerial education. You are eager to learn, a team player, resilient and disciplined.
BACHELOR’S DEGREE
This program leads to a Bachelor of Ministries (BA MI) from Adéléa Academy. Training starts every year around mid-September. It lasts 6 semesters and comprises 180 credits based on the ECTS system, a third of which is spent on practical training in a local church.
It is possible to follow the course full-time for one year to obtain a Certificate (60 ECTS credits). After two years of full-time study, students can choose to complete the program with a Diploma (120 ECTS credits). Only students who complete all three years of study will be awarded a Bachelor’s degree .
TUITION FEES
The tuition fee is CHF 595 per month, or CHF 425 for students living in the European Union. In order to fully involve the local church in the training program, these fees must be reduced by a minimum financial contribution of CHF 200.- from the student’s training church.
The tuition fee for Bachelor’s and Certificate students is CHF 395 per month (for 10 months of the year). This rate applies to all students living in Switzerland. For students living abroad (EU), the fee is CHF 225 per month (10 months/year).
Our school’s vision regarding finances is to promote student integration. We do not want finances to be a barrier to study. If you feel the call and resonance in your heart for our school, we offer you a financial aid adapted to your needs and abilities. Contact us to establish a support plan together.

Personal expenses
The expenses for literature and school materials are individual. The proposed study or mission trips are optional. Twice a year, an extended external study weekend is held.
Hosting
Adelea Academy works in partnership with the association LUMEN HOME, which facilitates the accommodation of our future students. The proposed accommodation is a shared apartment in the center of Geneva, 5 minutes from the train station, from 350.00/month.
Financial support
We encourage students to find supporters in the local church to contribute to the cost of tuition for a flat monthly fee or a one-time annual donation. We suggest a 50% contribution to school fees.
