Our History
Chadwick Adventist College (CAC) was established in 2023 under the Sierra Leone Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (SLEC), fulfilling a long-held vision of the Adventist Church in Sierra Leone: to provide quality, faith-based tertiary education to Sierra Leonean students within their own nation.
For decades, Adventist secondary school graduates in Sierra Leone faced a choice between leaving the country for an Adventist university abroad — accessible only to a few — or enrolling in secular institutions with no faith community to support their growth. Chadwick Adventist College was founded to change that reality permanently.
In 2023, CAC opened its doors with three inaugural diploma programmes: Theology and Religion, Computer Science, and Accounting and Finance — welcoming its first cohort of pioneering students. By the special grace of God, seventeen students completed their first-year final examinations, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Sierra Leone's educational landscape.
Â
On August 30, 2023, Chadwick Adventist College underwent a Peer Review Visit, leading to formal NCTVA accreditation in May 2024 for all nine Diploma programmes. International recognition followed: the West-Central Africa Division (WAD) Education Director, Pastor Juvenal Balisasa, led an Assessment Visit from April 28–May 1, 2024, and the International Board of Education (IBE) Team, led by Prof. Hudson Kibuuka, conducted an Assessment Visit from June 26–29, 2024. The Adventist Accreditation Association (AAA) subsequently voted to accept the IBE and IBMTE assessment reports — a landmark achievement for a college only one year old.
On April 16, 2025, Chadwick Adventist College held its inaugural Matriculation Service at the East End Church, Ross Road, Freetown — a joyful, formal ceremony welcoming a new generation of students into the CAC family and marking a new era in Adventist education in West Africa.
