We provide a high-quality education at a realistic price for deserving families.

Since 2005, students have experienced a transformational private Christian education at Hope. The tuition revenue we receive covers less than 15% of our operating budget, so we rely on the generosity of our partners and donors to keep the Hope education thriving.

Chicago Hope Academy students engaging in class, where a rigorous, faith-based education prepares them for success—empowered by generous donors who make it all possible.

In the top five neighborhoods Hope students live, 15% of residents have a college degree.

At Chicago Hope Academy, dedicated teachers provide personalized support to every student, with the help of donors who invest in educational excellence and individual growth.

Through our college and career prep curriculum, Hope students have made great strides in their educational journey. Our desire is to see  students graduate from Hope inspired to grow as leaders and become agents of change in the city of Chicago.

Through our Trades Pathway, Hope is actively destigmatizing the trades and promoting alternative routes to meaningful careers.

In Hope’s surrounding neighborhoods, 21% of residents are unemployed and 44% are not in the labor force. The push towards “College for All” should not dismiss the transformational opportunities that exist within the trades. By introducing the trades as a viable option, we pray to see families break the cycle of inter-generational poverty through skill building and home ownership.

In Chicago Hope Academy’s Trades Pathway, students gain hands-on experience with tools, building skills for successful careers in fields like carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work—all made possible by donor support.
