2015-2016 ANNUAL REPORT
HOPE ACADEMY
A remarkable, God-centered education for the youth of the city.
A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST
Who is happy on the day that a crop of wheat is harvested?
The harvesters? Definitely! The planters? Absolutely! Those who carried water to the plants? No doubt. Those who weeded? Certainly. Even the person who bought the seed and the fertilizer? Of course!
All the laborers rejoice equally on harvest day. Each one is important. Each one is necessary, even
though no one’s work is sufficient alone.
What about God? Is He happy about the harvest?
It turns out that He is the happiest of all the laborers because without His part, all is lost.
This annual report tells the story of another bountiful harvest of righteousness at Hope Academy—
a harvest you had a hand in producing. Read about our work together with great joy.
In summary, 425 students were blessed with a most remarkable, God-centered education;
you got the unmitigated delight of participation; and best of all, God got the glory. A golden triangle, indeed!

3 ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL EDUCATION AT HOPE ACADEMY
3
"The goal for my class is for my students to grow in wisdom and virtue, by exposing them to truth, goodness,
and beauty; seeing the truth of God can change their lives."
Debbie HarrisKindergarten Teacher, at Hope since 2000
Truth, Goodness, & Beauty
CLASSICAL FRAMEWORK
Hope Academy is classical in that it is an education in truth, goodness, and beauty, and therefore, ultimately an education for the glory of God.
1
Hope Academy is classical in its curriculum. We teach the fine arts and Latin; we foster wonder in the study of the creation; we teach the Great Books, which means that across all grades, we teach the greatest Book of all.
2
Hope Academy is classical in its methods of instruction. We make use of rhymes and songs in the elementary grades to reinforce learning, and Socratic discussions and debates in the upper grades. We teach with the aim of not merely informing the mind but forming the hearts of our students to love what God loves.

"Each of us has faced odds that could have devastated lives, relationships, and hope. But by God's grace, we are all here today. He has gone above and beyond so that we might live lives that point to His goodness."

"The parental involvement component is crucial. I love the community and camaraderie it creates, especially at Saturday school. When I saw
how respectfully the students interacted with the teachers — and that parents could get a good nugget of truth —
I came to appreciate the required participation."
Steven Wood Father of Hope Academy Student
Moms' Bible Studies are offered in Spanish and English, to foster both emotional and spiritual maturity.

VISITS
Each fall, our teachers visit every single one of our students at his/her home.
This builds a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and students.
Most families paid $60 per month in tuition.
Parents gave back at events, by volunteering in the classroom, and throughout the school.
Parents attended seven mandatory events per academic year.
PARENT
COMMITMENTS
Twice a year, every parent attends Parent Involvement Day for a class observation and parenting workshop.
In 2015, we began monthly classes to equip Kindergarten parents and help them build community with each other.

Every student at Hope Academy memorizes the Declaration.
We go to Hope Academy, a Kingdom School. We exalt the name of Jesus.
We recognize His presence here. We believe in God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe the Bible to be God’s holy word,
to be complete truth, a guide to our feet.
I am created in the image of God, and He loves me, beyond my imagination.
God calls me to love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ—to listen and obey—to listen and obey the first time,
not the second time or the third time, but the first time.
To use words with kindness; to respect God’s creation and all authority;
to not seek harm against another, but to love and encourage others
and to serve my community.
For I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
I can be a teacher, a lawyer, a parent, a missionary, a doctor, a musician, a coach, a business owner,
a computer programmer, or a poet.
We will display a crown of beauty instead of ashes; the oil of gladness instead of mourning;
a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
We will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.
