“Hope has been an amazing place for my son. He has thrived and greatly improved his testing scores. Probably the most important thing is that he comes home every day from middle school and says he had a great day.”

There aren't many middle schools that have a fully plumbed science lab to really immerse students in learning.

Bunsen burners are not commingly used in a middle school science curriculum. But Hope's science lab has all the tools to lead students through the experiments. Safety Read moreis always a priority and students undergo serious training in order to light the burners and study the materials used in the experiment.

Students tested three elements: water, sugar and baking soda. Guess which one was the most reactive?

See how some of them turned out!

Thankfulness. That was the subject of chapel that sixth grade students prepared four skits around to demonstrate how even in the roughest or happiest of times there is always something to be thankful for.

It's hard getting up in front of your class, let alone the entire student Read morebody. But sixth grade rocked it! By the time they graduate, Hope students are comfortable singing, acting, reading scripture, acolyting, and praying for others and themselves. At Hope we put our students front and center, encouraging them to lead their fellow classmates by example, and have fun doing it! We nurture the gifts that God sees in them that they might not even realize He put there.

What looks like kids 'only' playing with blocks, or painting pictures, or even cooking in the 'kitchen' is actually learning at its best. These activities are exactly what these young learners should be doing to learn in real-time how to share, take turns, and collaborate on Read morehow to make a pumpkin pie.

They are learning that when you mix colors you get an entirely different color! Their imaginations run wild when explaining how their Megatile tunnel will funnel animals from one area to another. They are tapping into their critical thinking skills when organizing tiles on the light board. And they have teachers right beside them cheering them on!

This is a play-based preschool program growing future leaders! #hopeseattle #westseattle #playbasedpreschool #preschool #nurturingexcellence

At Hope, middle school electives are meant to inspire, challenge, and encourage students to try something they have never done before. This year the woodshop elective was added to the over 18 electives Hope currently offers on rotation. Thanks to donations from the Eagle Excellence Fund, Read morestudents are working with their hands, measuring, cutting wood with saws and feeling the satisfaction of nailing two pieces of wood together.

Beginning with projects that teach how to use the tools and the techniques, students have built geo boards, sanding blocks, porcupines, and keepsake boxes, incorporating art to personalize each project.

Today, students finished projects and were given time to freely create their own designs using the skills they learned in class. Within structure, they could think 'outside the box' creatively. There is nothing better than the humm of engaged students led by their imaginations. #hopeseattle #westseattle #woodshop #middleschooleducation #creativethinking

With AI being more available, it's tempting to rely more and more on AI for writing and inspiration. A simple writing prompt such as "Fall" is one way for these 8th graders to put pencil to paper and write their thoughts about the season. Original thought and the process of writing Read moreare still a very important and necessary part of an Hope education in order to prepare students for high school. #hopeseattle #MiddleSchool #elementaryschool #writingprompts #westseattle
