What is seminary?

Seminary is a religious educational program operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taught by Brother Esplin for 9th-12th graders at Pasco High and other high schools worldwide for all students. In seminary class, students study scripture on a chapter by chapter basis. Students in seminary take the class all year and each year they study church history and a different scripture, they cycle between four different books: The Old Testament, The New Testament, The Book Of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants. By the time a student graduates from seminary they will have studied all four books.

The History of Seminary

“Over 100 years ago, the first released-time seminary program was launched at Granite High School in Salt Lake City, Utah. The program has since grown into a worldwide system of religious education, bringing gospel instruction to young members of the Church throughout the world. From small beginnings, the seminary program and its collegiate counterpart — institutes of religion — grew to become the primary educational entities in the Church, with a larger enrollment than any other LDS educational venture and a wider reach than almost any educational organization worldwide. Today the seminary and institute programs teach over 700,000 students in over 150 different countries.” https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/topic/seminary
