THE CHARTER SCHOOL PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH AN INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL APPROACH THAT PLACES A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON THE ARTS, MUSIC, AND LITERATURE. IN ADDITION TO THE CORE SUBJECTS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY COVERED, THE SCHOOL WORKS TO NURTURE THE CHARACTER OF EACH STUDENT THROUGH A STAFF THAT TEACHES AND MODELS EXCELLENCE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHARACTER-FORMING RITUALS AND TRADITIONS. THE STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY BY WORKING ALONGSIDE PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN PURSUIT OF OUR MISSION. THE FORMATION OF A STRONG COMMUNITY BEGINS WITH THE WAY WE STRUCTURE THE SCHOOL INTO SMALLER COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR AGES THREE AND FOUR, THE SCHOOL HAS A PRIMARY ACADEMY (PK-3), INTERMEDIATE ACADEMY (3-5), AND PREP ACADEMY (6-8). THESE SMALLER COMMUNITIES ENABLE TEACHERS TO BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS AND WORK CLOSELY WITH FELLOW STAFF MEMBERS. THE SCHOOL ALSO OFFERS TUTORING TO ASSIST STUDENTS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. HOPE COMMUNITY BELIEVES THAT PARENTS HAVE THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN AND IT IS THE SCHOOL'S ROLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE PARENTS AND SUPPORT THEM IN THIS TASK. HOPE COMMUNITY ASKS PARENTS TO SIGN A COVENANT AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHOOL ACCEPTING THESE RESPONSIBILITIES AND COMMITTING TO WORK WITH US TO FULFILL OUR MISSION. HOPE HAS ALSO FORMED A PARENT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP TEAM TO GIVE PARENTS AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE DAILY DECISIONS OF THE SCHOOL.
