We opened the House of Hope School in July 2012 with 38 students growing to 84 in 2013. At the start of the 2014 year we had 123 students. The school provides opportunities for children in rural Sumatra that would not have been available for them to an international standard.

International Mission

Each year a team of teachers visits to provide training and development for the teachers in our sister school by travelling to Sumatra during School holiday breaks.
