Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to highlight the role and significance of the Catechetical School of Alexandria in the first Christian centuries as a major center of theological and spiritual formation. Within the cosmopolitan context of Alexandria and its early Christian citizens, Christianity flourished in a complex intellectual environment. The study examines the evolution of Christian teaching and the organization of theological education within the Alexandrian tradition. Special attention is given to prominent representatives such as Pantaenus, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, whose writings deeply influenced early Christian thought. From an Orthodox perspective, the paper emphasizes the Alexandrian School's contribution to shaping Patristic theology and to defending the revealed truth of the faith.
