The average class size at Chicago Hope is 12 students. That is not a typo. The student to faculty ratio is 10:1 with an average of 12 students per classroom. The intentionally small class sizes ensure that Chicago Hope students receive as much individualized attention from their teachers as possible. There is no crowd for students to get lost in. Faculty is available before and after school for tutoring and serve as mentors as well as teachers for their students.

The small class sizes are just one reason that Hope maintains a 100 percent College Acceptance rate for its graduates. Hope is a Christian College Prep school.
