The new curriculum at St Vladimir’s Seminary begins with a new day. Rather
than a day divided into hour-long sessions, resulting in a program where students
may take three different classes between breakfast and lunch (without digesting
either), the new daily schedule is designed to enhance pedagogical effectiveness:
significant blocks of time are set aside for academic courses (of which students
will be taking four per semester, and so normally one per day), and for repeated
shorter sessions of “liturgical practice” courses (for which frequent
repetition over a three-year period is desirable).
All the blocks that are white indicate that all students will be taking these
courses. The dark shaded blocks indicate that only some students will be taking
these courses and the light shaded blocks indicate that these events will only
take place sometimes, but when they do all students are expected to participate.
