		The name of "Alexandrian school" is also used to describe one of the two great schools of biblical interpretation in the early Christian church.
		Many scholars regard Clement as the founder of the Alexandrian school of theology, which emphasized the divine nature of Christ.

		The Alexandrian theology aims at a reconciliation of Christianity with philosophy, or, subjectively speaking, of pistis with gnosis; but it seeks this union upon the basis of the Bible, and the doctrine of the church.
		The Alexandrians did not sweepingly condemn it, but recognized the desire for deeper religious knowledge, which lay at its root, and sought to meet this desire with a wholesome supply from the Bible itself.
		The Alexandrian theology is intellectual, profound, stirring and full of fruitful germs of thought, but rather unduly idealistic and spiritualistic, and, in exegesis, loses itself in arbitrary allegorical fancies.

	Neoplatonism
		Although the school in Alexandria maintained a lingering existence until the middle of the sixth century, it was elsewhere that Hellenistic philosophy found its last refuge.
		In 641 the Alexandrian school was captured by the Arabs.
		Whereas the Athenian school was strongly influenced by Iamblichus, and shared his enthusiasm for metaphysics, ritual, and paganism, the Alexandrian school concentrated instead on pure scholarship.

		It was contained in the mission of the Alexandrian school and its teachers to develop once and for all a coherent synthesis of Greek science and religion.
		Clement of Alexandria, one of the most revered deans of the Catechetical School for his philosophical theology and intellectual acumen, was one of the foremost figures who succeeded in uniting the missions of religion and science.
		As Dawson points out, the school was an ecclesiastically sponsored institution devoted to preparing candidates for Christian baptism by teaching them the basic tenets of the Christian faith.[4] While its earliest known dean was the Sicilian Pantaenus, Clement and Origen became its most famous leaders.

		The Alexandrian physicians revised and rewrote the entire field of science in which we are interested: physics and especially optics, even the fundamental facts of a kind of empirical chemistry (as it was necessary for the explanation of a systemic pharmacology), anatomy, physiology, pathology, therapy and surgery.
		Of the four schools the faculty of medicine was the largest by far yet its contributions were less than those in the other faculties taught by Euclid, Archimedes and Hero.
		The School of Alexandria and its successors developed the anatomy of the eye under the leadership of the great anatomist Herophilus of Chalcedon (344-280 BCE) who was an avid exponent of the importance of the brain and was the first to understand the nature and significance of nerves.

	THE EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE PRIMERS
		There is a technical use of terms which would limit "the Alexandrian School" to the theological institution connected with the Alexandrian Church and "the Antiochian School" to a certain school of scripture interpretation originating in Antioch.
		To Origen, who completed the Alexandrian conception of the Logos by his doctrine of the "Eternally-Begotten," the Eternal Son was as real and distinct as the one Supreme God; and, as the chief exponent of a school in which faith was wedded to science, he sought to understand the relations of these conceptions.
		He, therefore, as the head-master of the first Alexandrian school, whose work was now substantially done, handed over to the next age a two-fold task: to keep what faith pronounced; to complete what reason had unsuccessfully begun.

	C. Alexandrian Philosophy. by Greek Philosophy
		For the Alexandrians took as their groundwork the philosophy of Plato, but availed themselves of the general development of Philosophy, which after Plato they became acquainted with through Aristotle and all the following philosophies, and especially through the Stoics; that is to say, they reinstated it, but as invested with a higher culture.
		But with Plotinus and the Alexandrians it is likewise the case that the true universe, the intellectual world, is produced from thought; what Plato termed the Ideas, is here the understanding that forms, the intelligence that produces, which is actual in that which is produced, and has itself as object, thinks itself.
		Although the Neo-Platonic school ceased to exist outwardly, ideas of the Neo-Platonists, and specially the philosophy of Proclus, were long maintained and preserved in the Church; and later on we shall on several occasions refer to it.

		His work was continued in Alexandria, however, though in a vastly different style and spirit, by his pupil Origen, the greatest and most influential Christian thinker of his age, whose work won him the grudging respect even of such a radically anti-christian philosopher as the Neoplatonist Porphyry.
		Born into a Christian family in Alexandria between 182 and 185, Origen gathered a group of inquirers and constituted a school with the approval of the bishop Demetrius, until 215 when the emperor Caracalla drove all teachers of philosophy from Alexandria.
		He was later imprisoned and tortured in the Decian persecution of 250 AD, and died in Caesarea or Tyre, probably in 251 as a consequence of his sufferings.

		From this school came some of the greatest thinkers and leaders of the early church, whose influence has been felt down through church history.
		The School of Alexandria was a great center of Christianity, for a span of five centuries, until the reign of Justinian (529 A.D.).
		This school, with roots in the soil of the apostolic church of the first century, taught a Christ that was all-triumphant, with a plan of the ages to bring all things into His dominion and love.

	PREACH ING
		Preaching in the School of Alexandria was not only an invitation to accept the faith the soul discovers in theory, but also, an invitation to the practical life, as members of the body of Christ.
		The deans of the school were never to rest until they saw that the world had become the heavenly bride.
		The deans of the School were very active outside Egypt, because of their love towards the Catholic Church; they were not looking for any personal prestige nor gaining any political power for their churches.

	What was at stake at Chalcedon? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The school at Alexandria (and, by extension and association, Constantinople; though this was a tenuous relationship) stemmed in great part from the views of Athanasius, and the later extrapolation and expansion of those views by Apollinarius.
		Theodosius, already sympathetic to the Alexandrian school, needed little convincing to join sides with Eutyches and the affronted Alexandrians–though some political arm-bending was carried out by the person of Chrysaphius, a minister and the godchild of Eutyches.
		The two schools themselves likely saw the council as the potential means to further their own stand, and gain widespread support for their views throughout the Christian world.

	The 'Schools' of Alexandria and Antioch
		Unlike the famed Catechetical School at Alexandria (which itself may not have been an academy in a proper sense -- the question is much debated), the 'schools' of Alexandria and Antioch are wholly homogenised historical readings of convergent manners of reflection in the ancient world.
		The Alexandrine 'school' is seen most often as the older, dating back at least to Arius, and including such notable figures as the sainted bishop Athanasius of that city, as well as the anathematised Apollinarius.
		As bishop of Alexandria and strongly influenced by the theology of his predecessor, Athanasius, the temptation is certainly to call him a member of the Alexandrian 'school'.

	Great Theosophists--Ammonius Saccas (9 of 29)
		Christianity asserted that the earth was flat, and against this theory was pitted that of Aristarchos of Samos, who had been a member of the Alexandrian School in 280 B.C., and had taught the sphericity of the earth as Pythagoras had taught it before him.
		This School would serve two purposes: first, it would enable her to introduce Christianity into this hotbed of heresy; second, it would give the Church Fathers an opportunity to study the pagan doctrines, and thus give a greater appearance of authority to their Refutations.
		At first it was a school for children only, located almost at the doors of the Old Museum, from which the majority of Christians, owing to their ignorance of science, art, and philosophy, had hitherto been debarred.

	Ammonius (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		The school founded by Horapollo, where after Hermeias joined it the two main courses of study were rhetoric and philosophy, was a hub of the ‘Hellenic’ pagan learning, religion and culture.
		That the school could be a focus of hostile Christian attention had been made abundantly clear by the lynching of Hypatia at the hands of an Alexandrian mob in 415.
		Ammonius was chiefly influential as the founder of the school of Aristotle-interpretation in Alexandria.
