The New Hope Academy Experience

We’re in the Kingdom business of nurturing the seeds that will transform children into life-long learners, hands-on problem solvers, pure worshipers, and world-changers; children steeped in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. You will not be able to miss them. They share the unmistakable spirit of godly confidence that stands out as they move into higher learning.

I hope you will consider becoming a part of a New Hope Generation. Come by and see me anytime, and together, we’ll walk the halls where hope abounds.

61% of students receive scholarships or financial aid to assist with tuition.

Academic Excellence

Custom Curriculum

We believe in a unique educational experience that equips children from all backgrounds to become a generation of leaders who will reflect our Creator and transform our culture.

This vision is cultivated through the convergence of three commitments: the promise of excellence, classical education, and the mission to the underprivileged, the belief in connected, purposeful community.

Community of Faith

Spiritual Transformation

We are true believers called to shine the light of Christ into the darkest corners of despair, illuminating every heart and mind with a new vision – a new hope.

We’re intentional about cultivating a unique community that nurtures a sense of belonging in addition to daily academic development. Biweekly school devotions, special events, and service opportunities are ways we build community within our school.

Racial Reconciliation

Purposeful Diversity

We believe that changing our culture begins with understanding, and that understanding takes place in genuine relationships. Separately, we remain impoverished and underprivileged – the poor and affluent alike. Together, we become empowered and enlighted, lifting one another to a Christ-centered life.

We believe in building the bridges of brotherhood in our community.

No matter their background, strengths or challenges, they matter to God. Consequently, they matter to us. Here’s an overview of our student body.
