Christian Education South Africa (CESA), formerly known as Accelerated Christian
Education (South Africa) or ACE(SA), represents a significant number of evangelical
Christian schools in South Africa. Most CESA schools are multiracial· and part of
charismatic fellowships.
The purpose of this study was to investigate CESA {its roots, philosophy of education
and methodology) and to evaluate the quality of Christian education offered at CESA
schools.
Firstly, 'sound Christian education' was defined. Secondly, a model for assessing
Christian education was developed. The SAPPAB model with its six criteria (spiritual,
academic, physical, practical, administrative and balance) assess both the biblical and t
educational 'soundness' of an education programme .
. Information was gathered over six years by way of interviews, surveys, ethnographic
and in-depth case studies. Evaluations included individual CESA schools, CESA as an
organization and the ACE programme. The major finding was that individual CESA
schools do contribute meaningfully to sound Christian education, but that the
organization as such lost its vision and its influence. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
