School Notes
HOPE Academys educational philosophy has been influenced by
educational research and professional classroom
experience. Most significantly, 2 Peter 1:5-10, to add first
to your faith virtue and then knowledge, as had the greatest
influence on our approach regarding both the academic and spiritual
development of our students.Our goal is to foster a desire for
learning and cultivate the unique gifts and strengths of every
child.
Our academic program can be characterized as inquiry oriented,
project based, cohesive, and academically and instructionally
differentiated. Students at HOPE Academy are most often seen
working in small groups or pairs, engaged in some form of hands-on
application of what they have learned, or engaging in a process of
investigation to explore an idea more deeply.
Students complete two to four projects per year related to
their unit of study. These projects extend students learning, allow
them to make broader connections and develop an in depth
understanding of their subject. Students at all grades present
their projects to both peers and adults. Students are able to speak
conversationally about their learning and teach others in the
process.
HOPE Academy pairs an excellent academic program with
Biblically based character development resulting in higher academic
achievement and strong moral character.We believe people learn best
when it is relevant, in-depth, and they are able to make broader
connections between ideas.
People retain and making meaning of what they learn when they
apply it to prior knowledge and have an emotional response.
Learning is best achieved by doing and teaching, therefore,
students should have an active role in the classroom.
Collaboration among students is a highly effective tool to
increase learning and understanding.
The role of a teacher is to engage students through an
exploratory adventure by engaging them in higher levels of thinking
such as questioning, inquiry and other instructional
strategies.
Textbooks are intended to serve as a resource, however multiple
resources are necessary in order for students to understand
multiple perspectives and explore ideas and events more
deeply.
It is imperative that we help our students develop a Christian
worldview and that it is the lens through which we present all
content. Learning can be assessed in a variety of ways.
We want the students to make meaning with what they are
learning and not simply restate information.

At Hope Academy, I Have Learned To Grow More Than Just My Abilities And Readiness To Learn I Have Also Grow Closer To God. The Teachers Not Only Have More Than Enough Ability To Teach But They Also Incorporate God Into It Which Is Very Powerful.

HOPE Academy is a very special place where each student is valued and poured into. As parents, HOPE acknowledges that we should be the primary influence in our child's life and they come alongside you to educate and spiritually strengthen your child. Our daughter has grown leaps and bounds, not just academically but spiritually and mentally in two years at HOPE. I can't say enough good things and would highly recommend HOPE to anyone that is looking for a wholesome Christian education, that is academically challenging, and allows you to be a teacher for your child.

I am a 6th grader at Hope Academy and feel like I could not be in a better place. I love how they care about how I am learning and they teach us to be confident in what we learn. One of my favorite things about Hope Academy is my class. I have been with my friends for 4 years now and we know each other so well. At lunch we are usually the last to enter our eating area, but we always try to fit our whole class in one table. I also love how my teachers incorporate the gospel into any lesson, from math to P.E. Having the kind of teachers that I have, I feel so privileged being taught by them. They always encourage us to be ourselves, and when I do not understand something, I always feel like I can tell them. I love Hope Academy!

I just finished my first year attending HOPE Academy as a 7th grader. I have found my school! I am supported by teachers and staff every day. I am encouraged to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself, all while receiving strength and guidance to be successful. Academics and worship are important to me, and HOPE Academy provides me with both. Project-based learning was a new concept for me. I enjoy how it allows me to be creative. I love going to school three days a week and learning from home the other two days. The structure allows me to schedule my extra-curricular activities on home days. We celebrate big and share with family, friends, and community what we've learned at the end of each quarter. We volunteer within the community. We learn life lessons and scholastics, and I know I'll come out of this school better prepared for life. We are a school but we are also one big family.

Hope Academy has been an absolute blessing to our family. The staff, administration, and school community welcomed us with open arms, everyone made our transition to a new school so smooth and warm. My husband and I both have education backgrounds and have taught or worked in schools for 15 plus years. Both as teachers and as parents we have been impressed with the academics, the high expectations for students, as well as the support for a student's who may be struggling. Students are pushed to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, and encouraged to add value to those around them. We have watched our son grow in every area, he has not always been a "fan" of school, but absolutely loved being at Hope, the friends he made, his teachers, praise and worship, and of course recess ;). We are thankful for the dedication of the teachers and administration!

I absolutely love Hope Academy! I have attended the school since it opened, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. The teachers, staff, and students are amazing, and everyone feels like family. The hands-on learning approach really helps my learning feel more tangible and makes concepts easier to understand and remember. If you are looking for a unique school experience, check out Hope Academy!
