The Academy is like no other place to study
It’s an eclectic mix of Higher Education study, specialising in youth culture, as well as diving into the bible, all the while developing your personal leadership. Being Australia’s largest Christian youth movement, the exposure up close and personal to local and global ministers will grow you and your world view. Tapping into the way this generation likes to study, we offer a diverse range of learning experiences, including connecting nationally on a regular basis to other Academy students and educators. On top of all this, you get to complete field placement with us and then bring it all back to your local church.
It’s a year that you will change your life and set you up to fulfill your God potential.
Called to Reach this Generation
The Academy exists to strengthen you and your local church. Youth Alive has been renowned for 40 years for leadership development, evangelism and building strong, relevant youth ministries. The Academy is the place to learn it all as you study with Australia’s largest Christian youth movement.
With only one contact study day per week, we offer experiences that go far beyond the classroom and our unique style is successfully engaging students from all walks of life including various denominations. We aim to equip you with knowledge of the Bible through our educators and guests who are experts in their fields, as well as tackling the most current and pressing issues of today’s generation.
The Academy offers students the chance to participate in Youth Alive’s large-scale events, regional gatherings, and leadership-focused programs. Each type of event provides unique opportunities for students to develop valuable skills and knowledge, which they can bring back to their local churches.
