Milestones, Memories, and Meaning
The year has officially come to a close, and we are overflowing with gratitude as we look back on everything we have shared. This past year was defined not just by the major milestones we reached, but by the beautiful memories we made together. As we wrap up this chapter, let’s remember that the meaning of our journey is found when we align ourselves in Spirit and Truth—anchoring our hearts in what matters most as we step into the future.

We wrapped up the academic year with our annual School Awards Assembly, where we proudly recognized our students' achievements and prayed over our rising alumni—our global HOPE family. We are deeply grateful for the incredible legacy these leavers have built in our school community. Please join us in celebrating these families, and take a moment to pray for God's guidance and blessing over their lives as they step into their next chapters.

The Class of 2026 - Graduation Ceremony
The Class of 2026 - Graduation Ceremony
We celebrate the 21 incredible students who graduated from HOPE as the Class of 2026! It has been an honor to witness the journey they have taken during their time at HOPE, and we are excited for the diverse paths waiting ahead of them.
Their final weeks were packed with special activities designed to create lasting memories for them. They traveled to Kampot for an unforgettable Senior Camp and participated in Launch Week—a dedicated time of debriefing and preparation for the transition ahead. From practical workshops on budgeting, finances, first aid, and navigating college roommates, to hearing advice from an alumni panel, they gained invaluable tools for the future.
Following these final milestones, we celebrated their achievements with a beautiful graduation ceremony and dinner. You can view photos of the celebration below and watch the full recording of the ceremony on our YouTube channel. To learn more about our graduates and their future plans, be sure to read the special Graduates Feature edition released in HOPE Connect!
Grade 5 and Preschool 2 Celebrations
Grade 5 and Preschool 2 Celebrations
We also hosted meaningful celebrations for our Preschool and Grade 5 students as they take the next big steps in their next educational chapter! These young learners have achieved significant milestones as they wrap up early years and primary education. We are so proud of their growth and grateful for the wonderful memories created during these events. Check out the amazing photos of the celebrations, which were beautifully organized by our dedicated parents and staff.

The 2026 Choir Showcase!
The 2026 Choir Showcase!
For many years, our community has rallied together for a massive School Production. This year, we are mixing things up! While our traditional stage play takes an intermission for 2026, we are launching an equally produced, community-driven event: The Choir Showcase on Saturday, October 31, 2026.
This new format keeps the incredible student energy of our theater productions but shifts the spotlight to powerful vocal harmony—while testing the waters for possible future regional performing arts opportunities.
What is coming up?
Moving performances from our Primary Choir, Secondary Choir, and a special Community Choir (parents, staff, and volunteers!).
Two Shows: A matinee and an evening performance.
Selected Themes: Music centered around topics of peace, joy, and hope.
Rehearsals will kick off the week of August 17. The official registration details and venue announcements are coming in the first HOPE Connect next year.
IB Survey: Feedback Reminder

Parent Council Updates
Parent Council Updates
As the school year comes to a close, we want to express our deepest gratitude to Monica Limantara, our outgoing Parent Council Chair. We are incredibly thankful for the exceptional service, leadership, and creativity she has brought to our community over the past year. Looking ahead to the upcoming academic year.
Finally, we are thrilled to announce a brand-new event coming to the HOPE calendar next year: International Day! If your family is traveling home or abroad this summer, please consider bringing back traditional clothing, cultural props, or artifacts. These items will be perfect for helping us celebrate our community’s wonderful diversity when we return!
Dear HOPE Community,
It's hard to believe how quickly time passes when you're surrounded by such a wonderful community. Writing this, I'm filled with nothing but gratitude.
As I step down, it is my delight to announce that Maija Thomas will be taking over as the new chair of the Parent Council. Her energy, commitment, and genuine passion make her the perfect person to lead us forward.
With a full heart and endless joy in what we have built together, I say thank you — for every meeting attended, every fundraiser supported, and every moment you chose to show up for our children. This community is something truly special, and I will carry it with me always.
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! - Psalm 133:1
Soli Deo Gloria!
