At Hope Academy, we provide children with enriching educational experiences and assist them in reaching their full academic potential.
Our independent schools offer highly structured, individualized academic instruction that also addresses issues such as conflict resolution, social skills training and esteem building.
Our educational support goes beyond the classroom to services such as tutoring, school-based trainings and consultations for school personnel and a fun-filled summer day camp.
The mission of TheΒ Hope Academy of Cincinnati is to improve the lives of children and their families facing social, behavioral, and learning challenges through individualized services of superior quality.
Central to our mission is serving βat riskβ children and their families.
We strive to reach those with little or no resources or support systems, and families that, for any reason, do not have access to typical opportunities afforded to others.
Our professional, caring staff provides innovative services on our campus, in the home and in school or community settings.
Through these programs, we support children waiting for a family of their own, nurture those in need of extra guidance during the first few years of life, educate children who require special attention to achieve their full academic potential, and help children to realize and maintain a healthy state of mind.
