Nuestra historia
En 2004, un grupo de empresarios cristianos adquirió la escuela y parroquia de San Calixto, que estaba clausurada, de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago. La parroquia incluía instalaciones escolares, una capilla, un gimnasio, una rectoría y un convento. Liderada por Bob y Tina Muzikowski, con la ayuda de cientos de voluntarios, futuros estudiantes y, finalmente, contratistas privados, la Academia Chicago Hope inició un año completo de renovación. Entre los momentos más destacados se encuentra el alojamiento de 200 voluntarios de la Escuela Secundaria Cristiana Aurora, quienes pasaron sus vacaciones de primavera viviendo en el piso del gimnasio por la noche y ejecutando el plan de demolición y la reconstrucción del escenario de la capilla durante el día.
El 29 de agosto de 2005, tras una memorable ceremonia de inauguración, la Academia Chicago Hope dio la bienvenida a sus primeras clases de primer y segundo año. En 2006, se hizo evidente que las futuras inscripciones requerirían aulas e instalaciones deportivas adicionales. La construcción de una nueva ala comenzó y continuó durante el verano. En otoño de 2007, se añadieron cinco aulas adicionales, además de una zona de recepción para la capilla, una sala de pesas y una sala de cardio de última generación. En 2013, se añadió una hermosa superficie de césped artificial al Hope Field y al Altgeld Park. La pista de atletismo de Hope se completó en 2019. La Academia Chicago Hope continúa expandiéndose en la comunidad del Near West Side y se afianza en su misión de servir a la comunidad, a sus estudiantes y a sus familias.

Our Story
1995
After re-locating to Chicago from New York, founders Bob and Tina Muzikowski launch a neighborhood Little League program. Participation in the program quickly climbs to the hundreds. As the baseball players begin high school, they enter an overburdened educational system that often lacks the support they need for their future. The Muzikowskis' see this as an opportunity to open a school for students primarily from the South and West Sides to receive a private Christian education in an uplifting environment at a low cost.
