Antiochian House of Studies Successfully Completes ATS Focused Visit Evaluation
The Antiochian House of Studies (AHOS) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its focused evaluation visit conducted by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) on March 31, 2026.
During the onsite visit to the AHOS campus in La Verne, California, the evaluation committee met with institutional leadership, including the president and dean, as well as faculty, board members, administrators, students, and other stakeholders.
The committee commended the professionalism, transparency, and constructive engagement demonstrated by all participants throughout the evaluation process.
Following the visit, the evaluation committee submitted its report to ATS. Upon the recommendation of the visiting committee, the ATS Board of Commissioners reviewed the report during its meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on June 1–2, 2026.
The Board’s agenda included AHOS’ focused visit in relation to the institution’s comprehensive evaluation plan, as previously required in June 2022.
After careful review of the report and supporting materials in light of the ATS Commission’s Standards, Policies, and Procedures, the Board voted to receive and accept the report of the Spring 2026 focused visit.
This outcome affirms the Antiochian House of Studies’ continued commitment to academic excellence, institutional integrity, and ongoing improvement in theological education.
AHOS expresses its sincere gratitude to His Eminence Metropolitan Saba, Chair of the Board, the members of the Board of Directors, the president, dean, faculty, students, staff, alumni, and all supporters whose contributions made this successful evaluation possible.
