High School
Hope Academy's High School program runs from Grade 9-12 and takes a traditional 4 years to complete. Each grade has a homeroom teacher who is the student and parents first point of contact. They will help to coordinate information from other teachers. Use of the agendas is enforced as this trains students to develop organization and responsibility for their learning.
As we are based on the American system, students do not take external exams, such as the IGCSE.
For students who work well independently, options are available to complete additional or extended courses in Science and Math. Additional courses may be developed as needed.

Students earn a minimum of 24 credits in core and extended content areas throughout the four years. In addition to their diploma, students will take the ACT or SAT exams for college entrance.
