School Notes

New Hope Academy is a Christ-centered school educating students of diverse socio-economic and racial backgrounds by establishing a Biblical worldview and preparing each child to flourish academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. We seat children in grades Pre-K through 6thgrade averaging 14 children per class. Since its inception in 1996, New Hope has made the commitment to reserve 40 to 50% of its seats for children from low-income families to truly reflect the diversity of the Kingdom of God.
