EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

St. HOPE Leadership Academy’s educational program is based on a proven model developed and implemented by St. HOPE in Sacramento, CA. This model is research-based and has evolved from the study and observation of successful practices at high performing schools across the country.

The program features:

• An orderly, structured and disciplined learning environment;
• Rigorous, standards-based college preparatory curriculum;
• Focus on literacy and mathematics;
• Low student-teacher ratios;
• An extended instructional day and school year;
• Character development as the underpinning of (and precursor to) academic achievement;
• Frequent benchmark assessments of student progress;
• Intensive interventions for students who are performing far below grade level.

SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS

• Individual Learning Plans for students;
• Extensive leadership development and community service opportunities;
• Yearly college visits for all students;
• Partnerships with local colleges, universities and businesses;
• Intersession and Summer programs.
