    new living proof high school!

    ANNOUNCING THE LIVING PROOF HIGH SCHOOL!

    SOME EXCITING NEWS
    Here is some very exciting and big, big news: 
    Hippo Valley Christian Mission will be opening a brand new high school and we are calling it LIVING PROOF HIGH SCHOOL!  
    That’s right! We will be launching this top-notch high school/boarding school at our newest mission station, the Pemberton Station, in a region called Gutu. HVCM owns 150 acres of land right on the main highway between Chiredzi (our home base) and the capital city of Harare. This is prime land and perfect for a mission station and boarding school. 

    THE PLAN
    The plan is to finish these first 4 blocks of classrooms and begin construction of latrines, teacher housing, boys and girls dorms, a kitchen and dining area and be ready to launch this new school in 2023. 
    We will begin with 138 Form One students (first year high school) and then add another 138 each year through Form Six as we build another 4 new classroom blocks each year going forward. Eventually we would have 276 students in each of the 6 high school grades for a total of more than 1,600 students!

    HALF OF ALL BOARDERS WILL BE LIVING PROOF CHILDREN RECEIVING A FULL SCHOLARSHIP
    Under the leadership of our new mission schools manager, Samuel Mahwehwe, our plan is to make this Living Proof High School one of the finest schools in the entire country of Zimbabwe. Samuel has a stellar reputation in the Zimbabwe educational system because of all he was able to accomplish as headmaster of our fine Dewure High School/Boarding School when he raised their standards and made it into one of the top 10 schools in Zimbabwe. We are anticipating the same here!
    ​
    Our plan is to have 50% of all boarder students be Living Proof children. The LP kids will be selected based upon academic and character qualifications and will be awarded a full scholarship which includes room and board. Imagine this! These are kids who would normally have no opportunity to attend a premiere boarding school like this due to the high cost (about $1,200 per year) yet now they will have an opportunity to be in one of the nation’s finest schools! The other 50% of students will be full tuition paying students from around the country of Zimbabwe. The waiting lists are long in Zimbabwe for quality boarding schools and the tuition paid by this other half of the students will be sufficient to run and further develop the school. 

    EXCITING PARTNERSHIPS
    In addition, due to the location and size of this property, we will be partnering with IDES (International Disaster Emergency Service) to create a large goat and cattle operation on site, and this, along with the Farming God’s Way mission organization, will allow us to teach all students important skills toward a future in farming, sustainability and entrepreneurship. 

    LET’S BUILD TOGETHER!
    We needed $250,000 dollars to get this dream started. It was a big number, but we serve a big God! We should expect big things from God and we should attempt big things for God! And that is what we are doing! After reaching our initial goal of $250,000, God provided some amazing partners that allowed us to dream even bigger. Please join us in our efforts as we are now planning to add a Bible college, Central Africa Christian College, to Pemberton Station. Click here for more information specific to CACC.
