Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (Ede Christian University of Applied Sciences) is a higher professional education institution and knowledge center.

Staff members and students give shape to a learning and work community that focuses on:

• Developing and providing high quality professional education, through which students are formed as Christians, equipped and trained to be (starting) professionals;
• Developing, sharing and applying knowledge, which is made available (commercially or non-profit) to a society with multiform worldviews.

The CHE submits in all her activities to the authority of the Bible and adheres to the belief that the Bible has normative authority as the infallibly and authoritatively inspired Word of God, as expressed in the Reformed Confessions. 

What characterizes CHE is the combination of quality, identity, and commitment. Following a clear strategy, which is focused on key words such as Protestant-Christian identity, professional practice, and commitment, CHE wants to be of service to its students and to society.
