Student Life
Learning at Hope Academy GSO is interactive, impactful, and fun! Whether building leadership skills on a sports team or exploring nature in an outdoor classroom, our students learn that God has good plans for their lives (Jeremiah 29:11) and those plans are filled with hope.
Athletics
Sports programs at Hope Academy are opportunities for students to develop athletic skills and life skills. Students learn to set goals, persevere through challenges, and how to work together as a team.

Summer Program
Our Summer Bridge program is available to all Hope Academy students, starting with those who will be going into 1st grade in the fall through graduating 8th graders who are headed into high school. Students receive individualized support in reading, writing, and math in the morning. The afternoons are for fun, including crafts, movies, and exciting field trips.
High School Readiness Program
We want all our students to be equipped for the next step in their academic journey. Our High School Readiness Program helps 8th graders prepare for high school by making sure they know what to expect and how to create healthy relationships in a new environment. 100% of 8th graders attend choice/magnet high schools after graduating from Hope Academy.
