What we do
Hope Academys instructional curriculum is as unique as its learners.
A sound, flexible diagnostic-prescriptive approach is utilized, with research-based instruction adapted to meet individual needs. Every child has a learning plan that allows progression on his unique level and pace. Academic, social and behavioral objectives, benchmarks and anticipated timelines are set for each student. Hopes school climate is one of inclusion, encouragement, positive relationships and recognition of accomplishment. Low teacher/student ratios are coupled with small group and one-on-one instruction. The combination of specialized academics, social skills training and participation in extracurricular activities results in low absenteeism, the development of strong friendships, and genuine feelings of acceptance and happy demeanors.

My son has Asperger syndrome. He began to flourish after attending Hope for one year. He has developed stronger self-esteem coupled with better academic and life skills. -Robin Richards, parent
Music Therapy, Speech/Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Adapted P.E. Therapy and Pupil Appraisal Services are provided. Individualized Education Plans (I.E.P.) are developed for those that qualify.

Hope Academy serves as a research and intern facility for five area universities, bringing cutting edge techniques includingABAtherapy to the classroom on a daily basis. Before and after school care is available. In addition to the High School diploma program, a GED skills development program is offered.
