The Altum Institute
Schools of Formation
There are six schools of formation operated by the Altum Institute that serve various groups of the faithful of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
Welcome to the Altum Institute
The Altum Institute, as the formational of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, seeks to form the whole disciple in an integrated way such that the Gospel is internalized and is evident in their orientation toward evangelization.
It seeks to accomplish this through the establishment of Five Distinct Schools and an Online Academy.
The School of Theology is for those pursuing a degree in Theology either in English or Spanish or those who are in formation for the Permanent Diaconate
The School of Spiritual Direction is for those who are candidates to be Spiritual Directors in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City as well as those currently serving as Spiritual Directors.
The School of Catechesis is for all Catechists, either as Parish Catechists or as teachers in our Catholic Schools or those desiring a deeper understanding our the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The School of Ministry is for all those who serve in some sort of ministerial capacity, either in the parish or for the Archdiocese.
The School of Discipleship if for any and of the lay faithful in the Archdiocese or those outside the faith seeking Truth in the fullness of the Catholic Church.
Finally, the Online Academy allows the Altum Institute to extend the offerings of these five Schools outside the OKC Metro and develop communities for communication and collaboration in Ministry.
