Florence Nightingale – Stage Performance
In 2025, Cedar International Academy embarked on an ambitious journey—a full stage production. From choosing the story and writing the script to casting roles, painting backdrops, sewing costumes, sourcing props, and rehearsing every scene, the process was as challenging as it was unforgettable.
We invite you to relive this incredible experience by watching the full production through the link above.
Florence Nightingale – A Life of Service and Compassion
Florence Nightingale, known as the founder of modern nursing, dedicated her life to serving the sick and the poor. Born into privilege, she felt a deep calling to help those in need, defying societal expectations for women of her time. Her journey took her from caring for destitute families in England to training at Kaiserwerth in Germany, where she learned the principles of nursing and community service.
During the Crimean War, Florence led a team of nurses to the military hospitals in Scutari, transforming filthy, overcrowded wards into clean, organized spaces. Her tireless work reduced mortality rates and earned her the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp,” as she comforted soldiers during the night. After the war, she continued her mission, founding nursing schools, advising governments, and advocating for healthcare reforms worldwide.
Florence’s legacy is one of faith, courage, and relentless compassion—a life devoted to improving health and dignity for all.
Students share their experience
From the small and sometimes uncertain beginnings, the stage performance became a real success by God’s grace. It taught me perseverance and teamwork and will be a special memory to me.
The stage production was one of my most memorable tasks at Cedar so far and I learned many skills such as teamwork and acting. My heart is filled with thankfulness for the way the Lord helped us and blessed the production.
From the first to the last act, I truly enjoyed each and every moment and collected various unforgettable memories. I am filled with sincere gratitude for this unique opportunity where I not only experienced personal growth and God’s intervention but also observed how our Cedar family grew into a stronger unity.
