Mission
Hope Academy Northwest is the home
of the Sharks. Since opening our doors
in 2004, Northwest has offered a safe,
secure, and positive environment to
students and families. Our mission is
to provide a high level of education by
focusing on achievement, technology,
and social responsibility to create
successful citizens. Our teachers love
working at Northwest, and most have
been with us for over five years. Our
students benefit from a well-rounded
education including arts and music, and
each student receives a free breakfast
and lunch every day.
Special Programs
What Sets Us Apart
• Core subjects form the basis of our K–8 curriculum. Students receive extended
instruction and learning time in language arts and math.
• Musical exposure and organized physical education.
• School band and choir are open to students in grades 4-8.
• Social responsibility is an important part of character education and a value at
our school.
• Field trips offer a chance for students to learn outside the classroom.
• We beat the summer brain drain with free summer school and summer camp.
These optional programs are available for five weeks each summer.
