A distinctly Christian school
Cedar College began in 1997 with just 34 students, specifically for the education of students in a distinctly Christian environment.
The College is a ministry of Navigate Baptist Church and a member of Christian Schools Australia and the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia.
The connection between Cedar College and Navigate has created a distinctly Christian school, with genuine pastoral care and a Christian faith that provides the foundation for all that we do.
Today, Cedar College has almost 900 students and continues to grow in both enrolments and facilities. The most notable recent additions are the Creative Arts Centre, the two-storey Resource Centre and Administration Block, and the Cedar College Sports Centre.

The name Cedar College is derived from Psalm 92 verse 12 which outlines the growth of a righteous person, pictured as a cedar tree, growing to become strong and vital and leading a fruitful life.
