Why Choose HOPE Academy?
Learn What Makes HOPE Different
University-Model®
Our students spend more time with their parents than at school, preserving parent’s influence and creating an opportunity for students to develop independent learning skills while pursuing their unique interests. Students are on campus three days per week with professional educators, and two days they are at home with educator-designed lesson plans.
Family Partnership
Throughout every stage of your children’s K-12 development, HOPE Academy comes alongside in partnership. Whether a parent is co-teaching their elementary student or mentoring their high school senior, HOPE provides the academic tools, professional guidance, and community support that equips parents in this University-Model partnership.
Spiritual Development
HOPE Academy partners with families to raise up generations of mature and equipped Christ-followers through weekly worship, Bible study, prayer and the development of a Biblical worldview. Our prayer is for our student’s faith to be their own, their reliance to be on Jesus, and that the power of the Holy Spirit would move in their lives to not only transform them but the world around them.
Active Learning
Our hands-on learning approach actively engages students through critical thinking, collaboration and project-based learning. Their learning reaches beyond the classroom as they engage with local professionals, explore cultural and social ideas, and pursue 21st Century solutions through a Biblical Worldview.
Servant Leadership
Our prayer is that we will be a community of people with eyes to see and hands to serve others. Students, staff, and families partner with local and global organizations that serve the lost and the least through hands-on service, project work, school serve days, and mission trips.
Global Awareness
We create experiences and learning that allow our students to develop understanding, appreciation, and perspective of world events, cultures, and diverse people groups. This looks like sharing stories, recipes and hosting meals with people of various nationalities and life experiences. In addition, to serving with various ministries locally and abroad.
Stories of HOPE
A note from the Osterhout Family: “We were not familiar with the University Model prior to being at HOPE. We knew that we wanted to have an active role in Jacob’s learning but did not feel that homeschooling or public school would fit us. Early on, home days were not always fun, but we knew that God had called us to HOPE, and we trusted that He would sustain us on those hard days. I remember sitting in parent meetings, listening to the encouraging words of other moms, and hearing their stories about how their child was doing work independently and having great home days. I longed for that. This year, Jacob matured and grew in his learning. He wakes up, starts his work on home days without arguing & he takes ownership of his tasks. He’s learned to work well with others and be an encourager. I think it helps that learning is fun & authentic at HOPE. That is apparent whenever you’re on campus. Our family is so grateful for HOPE and the community, and we’re excited for our youngest to join his brother at HOPE next year as a kindergartener!”
Stories of HOPE
A note from the Wallace Family: “It is with great joy and gratitude that we share about the positive experience our family has had since beginning our partnership with HOPE Academy. I am constantly reminded of the Lord’s kindness every Thursday at family worship when I see our children starting off their day by singing, dancing, and hearing truth from God’s Word. They are filled with joy and the friendships they’ve made are just so sweet. The community at HOPE is special and we consider it a great blessing to do life with these families. HOPE has been a wonderful fit for our family and a very specific answer to prayer. We are proud to be a part of this community and highly encourage other families considering this possibility to seek the Lord and boldly ask for Him to reveal His best plans. HOPE Academy has truly blessed us! Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21″”
Stories of HOPE
A note from the Farthing Family: “One of the biggest blessings and joys while at Hope is having teachers who affirm and encourage the same values we teach at home. In a world where, as Christians, it often feels like we’re swimming upstream, Hope has been a support and encouragement as we’re all swimming upstream together. I love our community, and it’s so fun to know that most of these families will continue to be in our circle for the next decade! We look forward to our growing involvement at Hope — both in the school as a whole and in the lives of the dear friends we’re making along the way! “
