While the seminary originally opened to serve the theological eduction needs of East Africa, in 1995, the school began taking students from other African countries. The aim was to make the seminary a pan-African institution with a sense of unity within the Patriarchate of Alexandria.
In 1998, the seminary was renamed the Orthodox Patriarchal School. The school follows courses of study used by other Orthodox theological schools and seminaries. Students are enrolled from a number of African countries including Kenya, [[Uganda]], Tanzania, [[Madagascar]], [[Zimbabwe]], and [[Cameroon]]. Many students go on to study abroad, principally Greece and the United States. A few return as instructors at the school.
The programs at the school also include translating the Divine services into the many languages of Africa, as well as programs for the youth and women that thus contribute to the growing number of churches, schools, and health centers that the Church sponsors throughout the continent.
