Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS), formally called the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary in Virginia,[2] located at 3737 Seminary Road in Alexandria, Virginia is the largest and second oldest accredited Episcopal seminary in the United States.[3]

Established in 1823, VTS is situated on an 80-acre (320,000 m2) suburban campus in Alexandria, Virginia, close to downtown Washington, DC and adjacent to the campus of Episcopal High School. The seminary's notable alumni have taken leadership roles in the Episcopal Church, other Christian denominations in the United States, and overseas.

VTS is a member of the Washington Theological Consortium[4] and since 1938 has been an accredited member institution of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS).[1]
