Cedar International Academy celebrated its 30th anniversary on Saturday, 11 May, followed by a unique commemorative service on Sunday, 12 May. The festivities on Saturday featured a captivating program led by Cedar Alumni during the evening services. The milestone event was attended by many far and wide to commemorate 30 years of growth and exceptional accomplishments.
The founders of Cedar had a global vision. They aimed to nurture young individuals as missionary educators, foster rural school development, and spread the gospel. This vision has resonated across continents, attracting students from Africa, Asia, America, and Europe to Cedar. Many of the graduates have established Bible-based educational institutions in their respective countries, furthering Cedar's mission on a global scale.
Cedar has a rich history of training people as missionary teachers. Recognising the necessity for educators who adhere to Biblical teachings worldwide, combined with a very clear calling from God, the late Rev Erlo Stegen and his wife Kay felt led by God to ‘launch into the deep’ in establishing a place of Biblical training and education. They established Cedar Training College (CTC) in January 1994. At the time, it was an off-campus training facility for teachers affiliated with the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University (NWU), formerly the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education. Over the years, CTC evolved and adapted, eventually changing its name to Cedar College of Education (CCE).
In response to evolving governmental regulations, CCE transitioned to Cedar International Academy NPC (Cedar) and obtained registration as a private higher education institution in 2021, marking a significant milestone in its journey of growth and transformation.
