Opened in 1998

It is the mission of Hope Academy Cathedral to provide innovative and sound educational programs, a safe and nurturing environment, curriculum that vigorously emphasizes reading and mathematics, exemplary educators and state-of-the-art technology, all of which will enable students to achieve and excel academically.

In furtherance of that mission and recognizing that no one educational model is right for everyone, the vision of Hope Academy is to offer an alternative, tuition-free educational opportunity for students, grades K-12, that focuses on Language Arts, Mathematics and Civility for students who have no otherwise been successful in a traditional public school setting and who have fallen behind academically.  Accordingly, within a safe, clean and caring environment that is conducive to learning, the Academy places emphasis on the basics of reading, language arts and mathematics.  To supplement certified classroom Teachers, the school provides Instructional Aids, Family Advocates and state-of-the-art technology that includes computer workstations and computerized curriculum pieces.  Students with special needs will have their needs met in an environment of compliance and caring.  Overall, the Academy provides instruction, assistance and motivation for each student to become all he/she can be.  The school takes every measure to see that each student is prepared for the next educational step in his/her life.

In addition to insuring academic achievement, development of cognitive and interactive social skills is a high priority so that students may contribute in a practical manner to the global society.  Hope Academy Cathedral encourages and embraces diversity and cultural differences, opening doors to family and community to be involved in the education process.

The school will measure its success through achievement of its Academic and Non-Academic Goals.
