The founders of the member institutions of the Honoris network are pioneers in their countries and visionaries of private higher education on the continent. Aware of the vital need for their communities to have accessible and high-quality education, each worked for decades to build relevant and coveted academic models with the objective of improving the employability prospects of their graduates.

They decided to join forces to build the first Pan-African private higher education network. It can be said that, as its foundation, the Honoris platform has a combined experience of 250 years between the founding members of its 14 member institutions.

Thousands of students have entrusted their future success in Honoris and continue to benefit from the foresight of its visionary founders and the education professionals that comprise the Honoris Board of Directors.

It is imperative that all Honoris network institutions share similar goals and core values. These include powerful and heartfelt beliefs in internationalization of programs through exchanges, cross-border cooperation, research, training, and culturally diverse teaching methodologies, as well as relevant co-curricular experiences, including 21st century digital and soft skills. The 14 institutions that currently make up the Honoris network are introduced, as seen below.
