ABOUT HOPE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Our mission is to pray for, equip, and send Christ-centered, passionate leaders to change the world.

Annually, Hope Christian School educates approximately 1,200 students from Preschool through 12th grade. It is our privilege, honor, and responsibility to prepare these students to be tomorrow’s leaders.
