Chicago Hope Academy is not the only school in Chicago to maintain a 100 percent college acceptance rate for graduates. It is not the only school to send its graduates to top universities across the country. It is not the only school to have its athletes receive scholarships to play at the D1 collegiate level. Chicago Hope, like many of its counterparts, is an academically and athletically accomplished high school. While these accomplishments are worthwhile and not exclusive to Hope, the unique environment in which our students earned these results is.
The average class size at Chicago Hope is 12 students. That is not a typo. The student to faculty ratio is 8:1 with an average of 12 students per classroom. The small class sizes ensure that Chicago Hope students receive significant individualized attention from their teachers and no student is “lost in the shuffle.” Faculty is available before and after school for tutoring and serve as mentors as well as teachers for their students.
In addition to its size, Hope is unique because of its Christian College Prep focus. As a faith-based high school, every member on staff is a Christian. We welcome students of all spiritual backgrounds, but being a non-denominational Christian school is at our core. Diversity is very important at Hope and is reflected in the geographic, spiritual, financial, and ethnic backgrounds of our students. Our college prep education is based on our rigorous and balanced curriculum. It is reflective of what students experience at a liberal-arts university.
We welcome you to get to know Chicago Hope Academy for yourself. Our Open House is this Saturday, November 12th. There are two sessions for your convenience, the first at 10am the second at 1pm.
