Hope Ridge School was established (as Church of Christ School) by a visionary Christian, Dr. Douglas Akuamoah Boateng on 16th September, 2003. His intention was to have a private, Christian educational institution aimed at providing quality and character training to learners who will impact our world.

The local church (Abetifi/Nkwatia Church of Christ) was given oversight responsibility of the school.

The school was originally located at Abetifi-Kwahu with the first batch of 69 learners enrolled into Nursery and Kindergarten classes held at the basement of the Abetifi Church of Christ auditorium.

In September, 2005, the school was relocated to Nkwatia-Kwahu, its present premises when Dr. Douglas Boateng bought an already built seven unit classroom block and an additional 10.28 acres of land for future expansion.

The school became a subsidiary of Village of Hope in September, 2008 when its owner transferred management and ownership of the school to Village of Hope.
