Welcome
Cedar College of Education is a Christian teachers training college located on a Mission Station, Kwasizabantu near Durban. The college is affiliated with the North West University which is one of the largest Universities in South Africa. Students not only gain academically but also find their focus on community activities and support. It is a four year degree course with practical orientated experience.
 

Message from the Director
The need for Christian teachers increases year by year. As secular humanist philosophy captures school systems, it is crucial that Bible-believing educators seek to spread the Light of the Gospel through their profession. Cedar College of Education is there to equip them for this ministry. Our prayer is that each CCE graduate would be an effective instrument in God's hands.
Director of Cedar College of Education (Mr. K. Olsen)

4th Year Outreach
To Botswana with the Gospel

At CCE staff and students alike are called to serve. And as future teachers, students need to gain more exposure and experience of a world in need.

This year the fourth year students have planned a trip to Botswana. They are a unique international group of eight ladies representing the following countries: Romania, Botswana, Lesotho, America and South Africa, (English, Indian and Afrikaans).

Our aim is to reach out to the youth in the Rakops area of northern Botswana and to give them a message of hope, amidst the turmoil of modern day society. We intend to visit under privileged schools, to encourage and support them.

CCE is Growing
As the Lord Gives Growth



With the increasing number of student enrollment, we realized that the College would need to expand its premises.

The opportunity came during 2007 when an agreement was made between CCE and Domino Servite School (DSS) to exchange some facilities. The plan is that DSS will occupy the existing CCE building which will consolidate the school into one unit. CCE would then move into the DSS Junior school buildings (Foundation and Intermediate phases)...

First Year Welcoming 2008
Joining the Army



The 1st Year Welcome was a day to be remembered; the theme: "Joining the Army". Over 20 new recruits marched into CCE's new hall dressed in Kaki and white. Andrew broke the ice with the game "Simon Says..." converted to "Sergeant Says..." The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Years welcomed the new group with a skit each representing different Biblical aspects of Joining God's Army, interwoven by army-experience stories narrated by Professor Botha and some of the other lecturers and students. Towards the end, old students sang, "Welcome to the family" to which the 1st Years answered with a song that nearly lifted the roof for enthusiasm and volume! We were all thrilled in anticipation to their contribution towards the CCE choir. Graduation on the 12th of April saw the CCE army sing publicly for the first time in its 65 student-strong voice; a promising debut. 1st Years, we salute you!

New First Years for 2008

Cedar College of Education is growing as the Lord gives growth. At the end of 2007, it was evident that the college will need to expand its premises as more and more students from various culture groups and countries apply to study at a Christian institution.

 This year it is again a new record number of first year enrolments. Students represent the following countries: Romania, France, DRC, Burundi, Sudan and various language and cultural groups from within our own borders. It is truly the 'rainbow college' with already more than 10 different cultural groups in one year group! Two more students - from Malawi and Namibia respectively - are being expected to join the CCE student body should they manage to overcome some logistical barriers.

 We acknowledge God's hand in selecting all these students, as CCE does not actively recruit students, only by committing the matter to the Lord in prayer. We exist to carry out the mission of Christ in Higher Education and our prayer is that CCE's future will be "as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day". Prov 4:18
