OUR HISTORY

Bethel College Primary School started operating in 1995, even though the classroom facilities were rented from the Bethel College of Education. There were no boarding facilities for the primary learners. Boarding learners were staying in some staff houses as paying guests. The situation changed in 1998 when the college administration agreed to accommodate the high school learners in their dormitories under the supervision of the college deans. The primary school eventually grew into school. Our first matric batch graduated in 1999. Many of our learners found Christ in our school and are still witnessing SDAs.
