HOPE Acronym

HOPE is an acronym that stands for:

Hold
Onto the
Promises
Everywhere (home, church, school, work, neighborhood, playground)

The promises are:

GOD PROMISES that I will go to heaven because Jesus died for me.
HOPE PROMISES to support my efforts to climb the mountain to college.
I PROMISE to put others before myself and strive for excellence in everything I do.

Mission

HOPE schools exist to provide a high-quality, Christian education in a safe, supportive environment. We strive to make teaching and learning exciting and to graduate students who are well prepared to become inspirations to their families, leaders in their communities and successes in the workplace.

Vision

HOPE is dedicated to developing a network of schools that provide a Christian education that is genuinely transformational for our students. We are tireless in our commitment to establishing a distinctive identity as one of America’s finest college-preparatory institutions, developing students who are academic standouts and active community servants.

Recognition

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel names HOPE among seven schools making “positive impressions”

HOPE opened its doors in 2002 with one school and nearly 50 students. Today, HOPE operates three schools in Milwaukee's central city – two grade schools (K4-8) and a high school (9-12), serving more than 600 students and their families.

We are dedicated to the fact that education is a means to a life that is more successful and spiritually richer. HOPE offers a rigorous academic program that is focused on raising student achievement in an environment of encouragement and support.

While at HOPE, students master the skills that provide the foundation for life-long learning. Our exceptional teachers use time-tested approaches to academics and are committed to the development of intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and creativity. While the pursuit of academic excellence is a hallmark of HOPE, we are committed to graduating well-rounded individuals. Arts, athletics, enrichment, community service and worship activities complete the student experience.
