“We are living at perhaps the most opportunistic time in the history of our nation to expand accessibility and affordability for Christian Education! The community, resources, and momentum building through the work of the Spreading Hope Network is intersecting perfectly with two key opportunities: the rapid expansion of school choice along with heightened desires from families to align their children’s education with their faith and values!”
“I am so thankful for Hope Academy and Spreading Hope. The church where I previously served started a school in 2014 inspired by Hope Academy. I can’t imagine where Faith Academy would be today without their guidance.”
