Haven of Peace Academy is a Christian international school with a deep commitment to reaching the students through education grounded in biblical principles. Our school serves students from kindergarten through senior school in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with the mission of integrating the Gospel into every aspect of the curriculum. Through this approach, we ensure that students encounter the message of Jesus Christ through the dedicated service of our teachers. The school is situated on a twelve-acre campus overlooking the Indian Ocean. HOPAC began with five missionary families praying about the educational needs of their children. As they prayed, God gave them a common vision: to see a Christian school established in Dar es Salaam. In September 1994 the vision became a reality and the school opened in Oyster Bay with 47 students and 4 teachers. From the start the school wanted to share the blessing of high-quality education within a Christian environment with Tanzanians and other expatriates who valued the ethos of Haven of Peace Academy. The number of students steadily grew and in September 2001 HOPAC moved to a larger campus in the Kunduchi Beach area. We now nearly have 400 students on campus from over 30 nationalities. Our teachers are also international, many from the USA and Europe. They are all evangelical Christians and most come to work in the school supported financially by their home churches and missions.
