This school has been a blessing. The teachers are invested in the future of the children. The opportunity is learning computer science.

Small but highly available and personal school. The teachers put a great deal of effort into creating a curriculum to educate and challenge my kids (I have two daughters enrolled in BHS). They were also very flexible, during the pandemic we did remote learning and the quality of the teaching did not diminish. In addition, they provided remote learning when we were still apprehensive about sending our kids back. This is a nice gem/alternative to the public schools in Bridgeport. They offer quality education for an affordable price and most importantly they care.

Bridgeport Hope School is will prepare and has excellent academics. My oldest daughter is virtually attending BHS school due to the pandemic, and she is doing great and adapting well. The teachers are very friendly and Hard working toward the kid. My oldest daughter can't wait to get back to school in person and my youngest is excited to start school in September 2021 at BHS.

Bridgeport Hope School is a small gem tucked away in Bridgeport Ct. It's a school where everyone knows everyone. My daughter has been enrolled since Kindergarten and there has never been an "I dont want to go to school today" moment which in my opinion speaks highly!

We love BHS, my daughter enjoys going to school every day. The class size is small, perfect for individual attention as the student needs. Teachers are supportive and attentive.

A secret jewel in Bridgeport. Small school where students are nourish not only with excellent academics but with tools for the day to day life. Teachers and aids go above and beyond to give the students all the tools to make learning a fun experience. Small class groups (no more than 12 students per class) give the kids almost a 1-1 teaching experience.

School is great. Teachers really care and students rate excellent on standardized tests. Way above average. Parents involved with fund raisers and activities. After-school program well run. Best kept secret in Bpt.

Two of my children graduated from Hope School. Great environment. They learned a lot and prepared them well for high school. Teachers are really invested.

Seemingly never-ending school shootings prompted me to find out whether private schools were safer than public schools. Some answers and opinions on the matter here.
