School affiliated with
International Seminary of Theology and Leadership in Zurich
BACHELOR and CERTIFICATE FOR 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? Would you like to deepen your understanding of the Bible? Do you want to get out of your comfort zone? Are you ready to discover praise, the gifts of the Spirit and especially the gift of prophecy? If you answer yes to at least one of these questions, then there’s no doubt that 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.
GRADUATION
This curriculum leads to either a Bachelor of Ministries (BA MI) from Adéléa Academy. Training starts every year in 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. We would like to draw your attention to the leader camp which is compulsory for all students, before or after the beginning of classes.
Each year of full-time study earns a Certificate of Completion for 60 annual credits.
TUITION FEES
The tuition fee for BA and Certificate students is CHF 395 / EUR 225 per month (10x/year). The seventh semester lasts 6 months. Fees apply to all students studying in Switzerland (prices in Euro apply to students residing in the EU).
We believe in a formation that fully involves the local church. The school fees of CHF 595.-/ EUR 425.- gross, will be reduced thanks to the financial support of CHF 200.- minimum from the student’s internship church.
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.

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 minimum participation of 50% of the tuition fees.
