Walk through the sanctuary doors on Wednesday mornings and you can find students in chapel, an important part of an education at Hope. Established over 65 years ago as a mission of Hope church, the love of God is shared with Hope students.
Students can expect to learn about the Bible Read moreand the meaningful stories and people found within its pages. Faith is explored and questions are answered. And there is music!
But one of the unique things about chapel at Hope is that it is student led. From acolyting, reading scripture, praying, ushering, performing skits or plays, and singing, students are leading and sharing the message of Christ with their peers. Chapel is an integral part of their education because it not only introduces students to faith, it also encourages creativity, leadership, courage, and responsibility. They take an active role in exploring their faith versus only hearing about it.
Today eighth grade brought the topic of Reformation to life when they acted out a skit introcing Martin Luther and his 95 theses. Using modern storytelling vehicles such as video, podcasts and good ole acting, they told the story of a very old German priest, monk and theologian whose teachings sparked the Protestant Reformation. Creativity at its best! And Chapel band, a middle school elective, led everyone in worship 🙌! Well done!

🎉 Celebrating Strong Academic Achievement at Hope School! 🎉
Our K–8 students demonstrated strong academic performance on the Fall MAP assessments, with average scores of 81% in Math, 76% in Reading, and 83% in Language Usage!
What do these results mean? A student Read moreperforming in the 81st percentile in Math scored higher than approximately 81% of students in the national comparison group. Our results reflect strong academic achievement across all three subject areas, and we’re proud of the hard work and growth they represent.
MAP testing provides valuable information that helps our teachers understand student progress, identify learning needs, and guide instruction. But it’s just one piece of the picture! Our teachers also consider classroom observations, daily student work, and a variety of other assessment tools to develop a more complete understanding of each learner’s strengths, needs, and progress.
At Hope, we believe every student is unique. By combining meaningful assessment data with the insights our teachers gain every day, we can better support each child’s continued growth and success. 💙💛
