As the 2020 school year begins, we’re so grateful not to do this alone! It’s been a heavy summer — COVID-19, devastating riots, a spike in violence — so you can imagine our joy to have children back in the building. While we can’t have visitors to the school like normal this year, we are […]
It’s a first day of school like no other! Teachers, balloons, music, and even our mascot gave a warm and energetic “Welcome back!” to students who returned today for the first time since March. This fall, Hope Academy is grateful to provide both online and in-person schooling options to serve the unique needs of our […]
Education in Minneapolis consistently ranks at the bottom nationally for our children of color. We want more people to hear how Hope Academy is changing that story for hundreds of youth in our city. Will you help?
Next week, we’re rolling out our first Pursuing Remarkable Experience: The Hope Academy Story. It’s a one-hour Zoom experience where we unpack the urban education crisis, explain how Hope Academy is offering a proven solution, and share how it is impacting our city, one life at a time.
Who do you know who hasn’t visited Hope? How about you–have you seen Hope Academy for yourself?

God has used your love, prayers, and incredible investments in our seniors to get them to a momentous occasion: high school graduation!
As we celebrate each graduate, we are humbled to consider how much has been invested in his or her growth at Hope Academy. Each student has had priceless truths planted in their hearts, been touched by the love of God in Christian community, and had their minds stretched, grown, and sharpened.
Join us in praising God for:

Where is the front line of the civil rights movement in 2020
Housing disparities, income gaps, policing and incarceration rates, healthcare inequities–the systemic injustices of our day are deep and complex. But what is at the heart of these issues
Education. Education is the fulcrum that can change these disparities. But not just any education. If you want to impact a community for the long run, do it through an Imago Dei education: the formation of both heart and mind (more on that here).
Believing all children are made in the image of God and capable of great things, Hope Academy seeks to unleash kingdom citizens who work for justice, economic opportunity, racial harmony, hope for the family, and joy in the community. And that gives me hope.
Education in Minneapolis is still worst in the nation for our children of color. We believe that a remarkable, God-centered education has the power to right that wrong. There has never been a more critical time for Hope.
Here are just a few ways to give, as together we work for justice, economic opportunity, racial harmony, hope for the family, and joy in the community.
