About HOPE Christian Schools

It is our privilege, honor, and responsibility to prepare these students to be tomorrow's leaders. We believe that all truth is God's truth. So God is not confined to Bible class, or weekly chapel. Rather all curricula is from a Biblical worldview, taught by faculty who love the Lord, in programs designed to educate the whole student, and with an unwavering commitment to follow God's will for Hope Christian School.
