Academy vision:
The world is witnessing rapid and continuous fluctuations, some of which are beneficial to humans and some are harmful. The Coptic Church has always been a mother whose children resort to, and in order for them to choose what is beneficial for their edifice, education, and eternity, the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center established the Aristotle Academy.
Inside the Coptic Church, there are sources of ecclesiastical education; the Holy Bible, the teachings of the father apostles, and the holy tradition through which its children can choose what is useful for their eternity… the church has always been full of institutions that help her children to study those sciences.
Through the grace of God, Aristotle Academy at the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center is one of those institutions that nourish the children of the Church with straight knowledge.
