Cedar International Academy NPC (Cedar) offers fully accredited teaching degrees registered with the Department of Higher Education. As a Christ‑centred Christian university, Cedar is committed to nurturing both academic excellence and spiritual growth. Our programmes are designed to equip students to become confident, compassionate, and effective 21st‑century educators, with a strong missionary outlook.

Cedar is situated in the peaceful rural surroundings of KwaZulu‑Natal, near Kranskop, and operates under the ministry of KwaSizabantu Mission on its mission premises. The campus provides on‑site accommodation with meals included, creating a supportive community environment.

Studying at Cedar has been an immense and exciting privilege. Opportunities to learn, grow and equip yourself for the future, both academically and spiritually, are abundant.

I thank the Lord for giving us such a wonderful Christian teacher's training institution as Cedar. While studying here, we are not only equipped academically, but also spiritually to go out and make a difference as teachers in the Lord's kingdom.

Being at Cedar fills me with deep gratitude because it is one of the most enriching experiences I could have ever wished for. Without a doubt, the cedar family is a gemstone that carries and supports each student to build their lives on a solid foundation that remains steadfast throughout the storms and challenges ahead.

My first year was academically challenging, but I found joy in school activities where I met new people who became lasting friends. Through these experiences, I not only grew socially but also deepened my spiritual journey.
