Your Journey to HOPE

New Paragraph

HOPE is committed to encouraging student exploration through many creative learning opportunities. Drawing from the best of both text and inquiry-based methods, our instructional team is implementing an academic foundation that will range from increasing general knowledge and basic skills to excelling at a high level.


Through a comprehensive curriculum, HOPE offers a well-rounded education that encompasses traditional subjects including reading, writing, mathematics, science, social sciences and foreign languages. 


Students

HOPE recognizes that all students learn differently. While some students thrive in the traditional classroom setting, others are more successful through alternate methods of curriculum delivery.


HOPE offers Internet-based learning technology supported by classroom based instruction from certified teachers and mentors. This well-rounded education is designed to cater to the individual student's needs. 


This learning model allows students to:


Use computers and the Internet to achieve their educational goals

Learn at community-based Learning Sites or at home

Utilize experienced mentors and teachers for one-on-one academic and social support

Complete the curriculum at an individualized pace

Study what they need to learn, not what they already know

Day in the Life

On any given school day, HOPE students at Learning Sites move from online lessons on computers to complementary offline assignments at desks to fresh air during gym class and recess as they strive to learn, achieve and graduate.


Each HOPE student is directed toward an optimal learning pace, with his or her particular strengths and weaknesses, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, taken into account. If a student struggles with needing more physical space or more time to process effectively, for example, those factors are carefully considered by their HOPE teacher and a qualified mentor in planning an ideal learning schedule.


While using education technology to build a road to success, students can focus on the development of career skills. Along the way, they become lifelong problem solvers as they learn to research and communicate about their future.

Activities | events | athletics

At HOPE, we understand that school isn’t just about academic learning; It’s about fun! The extracurricular experiences to which we are exposed in adolescence shape our interests and passions throughout life, and allow us to become well-rounded and thoughtful adults. We’ve found that students who participate in our Activities, Events, and Athletics Program tend to perform better academically. We are proud, and fortunate, to be able to underwrite the cost of much of the program, making it accessible to our entire student body.
