I am new this year, and I cannot say enough great things about what is happening each and every day. The principal and teachers love my children, and my children feel it. They are learning and growing academically and in their faith. It is the best place for our family, and I am so happy we are here.

I love this school. This is my son's second year and I hope to keep him there until 5th grade ends. Mrs. Travers - Berry is the BEST teacher they have. She puts me at ease seeing her face and my child LOVES her. Any issues you have they will take seriously. I appreciate that my son is so well-mannered and respectful of their teaching.

I am absolutely in love with the direction of The HOPE Academy and the HCDC. I have a child in both programs and I am pleased to watch them grow under their direction. From Morning Chapel to the advancements made in STEM and overall technology, my children are getting the education they deserve. The teachers are so dedicated to their growth both academically and emotionally. The principal is uplifting and supportive. She cares about our children and it shows in her interactions and her plans for our school. Financially it is affordable for the single working parent and the investment is worth every penny. My kids love going to school each day.

We are so fortunate to have found Hope Academy. Our daughter started in the Huber Child Development Center at age three and half. She was already reading at a first grade level and we were concern that she would not progress in a structured environment. I am glad to say that our daughter has continued to excel. Now in kindergarten, she is reading at a 2nd grade level! The teachers team up to support paced learning the children. Morning chapel is a wonderful experience for students, teachers and parents. Hope Academy emphasizes academic excellence and strong character development. It is also wonderful that are Christian values are supported.

I love this school. The teachers are amazing, especially Mrs. Prettyman-Wilson and Mrs. Stanton. These two ladies taught the time to help develop my child academy, while in Pre-K. My child's Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Hylton is also a God send. The overall school and staff cares about educating the children.
