The Hope Academy’s educational model will be standards-based and meet the requirements of Rhode Island Department of Education in accordance with the Basic Education Plan, using curricula that are evidenced based to help students succeed in the 21st century. Our approach will combine individualized instruction, promoting a positive school climate, and co-teaching, where appropriate, that focuses on the strengths and needs of each individual child. This individualized approach will account for and inspire each student’s learning styles and different language backgrounds. The Hope Academy’s philosophy of teaching, learning, and administration are based on creating a positive learning environment where each student is supported in their development of academic and social skills. A rigorous, research based curriculum will provide all students with a meaningful learning context that is cognizant of individual learning styles and needs.

ClassroomThrough a challenging and responsive curriculum, The Hope Academy seeks to nurture students’ curiosity and perseverance. The ultimate goal is for students to become life-long learners who hold themselves to high standards in their personal, professional, and civic lives. Curricular engagements are built on the assumption that knowledge construction is socially mediated. Students are welcomed into the ideas, processes, and habits of mind of the language arts, social studies, science, math, technology, health and physical education, the dramatic, musical, and visual arts.
To maximize growth, teachers continually seek to understand what students know and can do with support and with independence. Teachers gain deep knowledge of students by using an integrated and systematic approach to assessment and instruction. With information drawn from on-going observation, curriculum-based performance assessments, and more formal benchmarked assessments, teachers design lessons and other supports responsive to students’ needs and intentions.
