We want to see HOPAC become a school community committed to learning to live fully and to transforming our world with the Gospel
We are a Christian international school staffed by Christians who are called by God to serve at the school and who uphold our Statement of Faith.
We enable the work of evangelical Christian missionary organisations by partnering with them to provide affordable high-quality international education, taught through a Biblical worldview to children of their members.
This opportunity for receiving a high-quality education is extended to other children in Tanzania, for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12.
We equip students to be biblically-grounded leaders who will play a key role in the development of Tanzania and other countries around the world.
We exercise responsible biblical leadership, service and stewardship of all God has given us, and seek to instil a proper respect for these practices in the hearts of our students.
We maintain an environment for students, teachers, staff and parents that recognizes all people are created and valued by God, encourage them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and challenge them to look beyond themselves to serve others.
We teach wholly, meeting the needs of students on every level – academic, spiritual, physical, social and emotional – so that they are equipped to make a difference in the world around them as disciples of Christ. You can read our full Philosophy of Education statement here.
Philosophy Of EducationWe seek to be proactive and purposeful in decisions on all school functions – curriculum, events, operations and personnel.
We recognize the value of staff working together in collaboration for the betterment of the whole school.
We are committed to performing at the highest standard – in communication, using best practices, setting goals and measuring results.
We know that we have a mission field right here on campus while understanding that these students will be the ones to go out and make a difference in the world.
We appreciate the cultural differences that make us one school, recognizing the need for understanding and valuing one another.
We set high standards and there is an expectation that our students and staff will achieve those.
We know that transformational ministry happens in the context of relationship and we value these relationships – with students, staff, parents, community and government leaders – in creating a healthy school environment within our community.
We ensure that all community members understand that our school is a place where they are accepted, respected, loved and challenged - a haven of peace.
