UNIVERSITY-MODEL® SCHOOL
As a University-Model® School, HOPE Academy partners with parents in the academic and spiritual development of their children through a unique schedule that supports parents as the primary influence in their children’s lives.
Students receive a blend of on-campus learning with classmates and professional educators and at-home learning with their parents using instructional plans designed by their teachers.

- Learn along-side their elementary students
- Foster responsibility and independence in their middle and high school students
