Afrikaanse Protestantse Akademie

Afrikaanse Protestantse Akademie, which translates to African Protestant Academy, is a private Christian university in South Africa.

The APA's story began in 1920, when a group of Afrikaans Protestants envisioned a university that would preserve their language and heritage while providing students with a Christ-centered education. Their motto, "Oude Spore, Nuwe Wegen" (Old Paths, New Ways), reflects this commitment to tradition and innovation. The university opened its doors in 1928, and over the years, it has grown into a respected institution that produces graduates who are not only academically qualified but also grounded in Christian values.

Campus life at APA goes beyond academics. Students are encouraged to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, fostering a strong sense of community. From religious organizations and choirs to sports teams and cultural clubs, there's something for everyone. The university's location also adds to the vibrancy of campus life. Nestled in South Africa, APA offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the country's rich culture and natural beauty.

The APA looks forward to a future where it continues to be a leader in Christian education in South Africa. The university is committed to providing its students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a globalized world, all while staying true to its core values. As they say in their motto, APA embraces "Old Paths, New Ways,"  by combining its rich heritage with innovative approaches to learning. The university is constantly seeking ways to improve its curriculum and facilities to ensure that its students receive the best possible education.
