The college studies are in two specialties: Orthodox theology and Apologetics.
Two [[skete]]s ([[hermitage]]s) are attached to the monastery. The first skete, which is for men, is dedicated to St [[Seraphim of Sarov|Seraphim of Sarov]] and is located the Ryazan region. The [[monk]]s reside in the reconstructed Krasnoye mansion. The second skete, for women, is dedicated to God’s Prophet [[Elijah]] and is located in the Moscow area. The [[nun]]s participate in the activities of the monastery.
