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.

A little bit of Hope…

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

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

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.
