	Who	Our students come from all over the United States, as well as other English-speaking countries. Because of our distance-learning mode, most qualified individuals with internet access can receive a quality higher education not available anywhere else. Many of our students are already accomplished professionals who are ready to deepen their Pagan practice and desire both the theory and practical skills which will make them more effective in their communities. Our directors, faculty and staff are some of the best in their field, including individuals with extensive practical and career experience, in addition to their own Pagan spiritual journeys. They live in every part of the U.S., and other countries, too. Biographical information is available online.
Where		Our business office is located in Columbia, South Carolina. The Seminary is all online. Our community is all the world.
Why		Paganism is one of the fastest-growing religions in the world. There are many resources available for training in specific Pagan traditions, and many are now ready to begin serving outside their local groups. For this we need a professional, competent, educated and recognizable group of scholars, leaders, teachers, chaplains and clergy who have been educated at the graduate level – in a Pagan learning environment, by Pagans, and for Pagans.
How		Charitable contributions from individuals who believe in our mission enable us to provide programs which are modestly-priced, and therefore accessible to as many students as possible. Cherry Hill Seminary, Inc., is a charitable organization under IRS code 501(c)(3), and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.
