At Silvertree, we believe that faith is not just a part of life but the foundation that shapes every aspect of it. Christianity isn’t meant to be confined to certain moments or spaces; rather, it should permeate our actions, relationships, and career paths. This belief drives us to build an education that integrates faith and vocation, preparing students to carry their values confidently into the workplace and beyond.

We recognize that landing a position at a reputable organization is a significant step in any career journey. Our mission is to empower students not only with the technical skills needed to excel in their fields but also with the character and confidence to thrive in professional environments. By connecting our students with leading industry partners, we ensure that their education is relevant, rigorous, and aligned with the real-world demands they will face.

Mentorship is central to our mission. We aim to equip students to be a “light in the world” — individuals who inspire and lead with integrity and compassion. Through hands-on guidance from experienced professionals, we mentor our students to embody Christ-like qualities in their careers, making a positive impact wherever they go. At Silvertree, we’re not just preparing students for jobs; we’re preparing them to transform the workplace, bringing faith, excellence, and hope into every role they undertake.

We envision establishing a private, Christian, world-class higher education institution in South Africa, to raise a generation of redemptive leaders who will shape culture and transform society. Our mission is to provide affordable, accessible, and holistic education through both online and in-person programs, grounded in industry and academic best practices.
‍
Our approach focuses on developing the next generation of leaders by cultivating strong character, a biblical mindset, and mastery of skills needed to excel in their chosen fields.
‍
As a first step toward this vision, we are launching our inaugural program in 2026: a 1 year software development program designed to equip students with in-demand technical skills and spiritual formation. While this program will initially be unaccredited, we are committed to pursuing full registration with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training under the Higher Education Act, 1997, to establish Silvertree as a leading institution for higher education in the years to come.
