Educating a Generation
in the Defense of the Christian Faith

The Academy provides an enriching academic experience in one of Europe’s most beautiful and historic cities.

Strasbourg, France

Discover Strasbourg, the enchanting capital of Alsace, nestled on the Rhine River at the crossroads of France and Germany. This remarkable city blends old-world charm (with its still-inhabited medieval quarter and a prestigious university founded by John Calvin) with contemporary significance as the seat of the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights.

Ideally located, Strasbourg is just 30 minutes from the Black Forest, one hour from Heidelberg, two hours from the Swiss Alps, three hours from Luxembourg, and only one hour and fifty minutes from Paris via the high-speed TGV train.
