The Academy started with a preschool in 2002 at a time when education in the township of Fetteh meant children had to stay at home for most days during the rainy season because the classrooms of the public school had no roofs. Today, all the children of Village of Hope from Nursery to Junior High (Grade 9) attend Hope Christian Academy with members of the community who are willing to provide quality education for their wards. Hope Christian Academy was founded to allow young children to have a Christ-centered education. It is wholly owned by Village of Hope – a Christian non-for-profit organization established by the Churches of Christ.

Mission

Secondly, we seek to inspire students and staff to excel beyond this life and this world and glorify God for all eternity.

 

Beliefs

The following form the core beliefs of Hope Christian Academy:

• We believe that every student is a child of God, created by Him to live a life of worship and service.

• We believe that the eternal salvation of each student’s soul is our primary concern.

• We believe that all students can learn.

• We believe that the Academy will be most effective when the teachers work in harmony as a team, respect each other and support each other.
