Hope Haven Leadership Institute

An opportunity
of a lifetime. 
A lifetime of opportunity.

To develop our students into Christian leaders and build a bridge for them into the working world, we have launched the Hope Haven Leadership Institute.

The goal is to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to excel in leadership roles while maintaining a Christian perspective.

Many of our students joined the school at the age of 3. As the first graduating Class in 2025, they are the leading thinkers of their generation.
