About the Academy
Document № FHA / ABT / 2008
Integrity, Courage, Excellence
Founded in 2008 as the education arm of Jesus Christ Founder Ministry, Fountain of Hope Academy serves learners on the JCFM compound in Nzoia — following the Kenya CBC curriculum within a deeply Christian environment.
Fountain of Hope Academy was founded in 2008 as the education arm of Jesus Christ Founder Ministry. What began as a small classroom block on the church compound in Nzoia, Bungoma, has grown into a full baby class to grade 4 institution serving the surrounding community and welcoming day learners from across the county.
We exist for one reason: to walk with each child — intellectually, spiritually and socially — through the most formative years of their life. We follow the Kenya Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) faithfully, with strong emphasis on literacy, numeracy, ICT and life skills, and we weave the Word of God through every subject and every day.
Our learners are known by name. Our teachers are not just trained, they are called. Our fees are kept honest. And our doors remain open to any family looking for a place where their child will be loved, taught well, and raised in the fear of the Lord.

A Word from the Head
Nzoia, Bungoma
(Welcome to Fountain of Hope)
Dear parent and learner,
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes. We do not take that lightly. From the moment a child steps through our gate, they are someone's prayer answered, and we treat them that way.
We are a CBC-aligned, faith-based school that takes both academics and character formation seriously. Our teachers prepare diligently, our staff care tenderly, and our chapel services are unhurried — because we believe a well-educated child must also be a well-loved one.
Come and see us. Walk through the classrooms, meet the teachers, ask the hard questions. We will be glad to welcome you.

Why Fountain of Hope
We are not the biggest school in the county — but we believe we are one of the most caring, the most honest, and the most faithful to the calling.
Daily devotion, weekly chapel and biblical character formation are part of the school day — not extras.
Full Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) delivered by qualified, registered teachers with consistent assessment.
We deliberately keep fees among the most reasonable in the region without cutting corners on quality.
Small classes, attentive staff and a security team help every learner feel safe, known and cared for.
Music, sports, drama, agriculture, ICT and creative arts — every learner is helped to find their gift.
Pupils serve their neighbours through outreach, gardening, Bible clubs and peer mentorship.
