HOPE Pillars:
Affiliate, Attend, Achieve, Aspire
At HOPE, we are guided by our core values – Affiliate, Attend, Achieve, Aspire. These principles shape our educational approach and are the driving force behind every decision we make for our students.
Our educational program is characterized by:
- High-Quality Curricula: Aligning with Colorado Academic Standards and federal Common Core standards.
- Self-Paced Learning: Students have the flexibility to progress through the material at their own speed.
- Professional Instruction: Our licensed teachers are at the forefront of delivering educational content.
- Mentorship Support: Each student benefits from the dedicated attention of a one-on-one community mentor.
Affiliation: The first pillar stands for the sense of community that is crucial for students. When students feel affiliated, they are more engaged, participative, and invested in their educational journey. HOPE Educators work diligently to create an inclusive atmosphere where every student feels a sense of belonging.
Attendance: It's a simple equation; students who affiliate will attend. Regular attendance is a stepping stone to academic success, and HOPE Educators encourage this by making each day's learning experience worth attending.
Achievement: With affiliation and attendance comes achievement. HOPE Educators set the bar high, inspiring students to reach their full potential. They recognize that achievement is not just about grades; it's about personal growth, learning, and the joy of discovery.
Aspiration: The final pillar is about looking forward. Students who achieve are naturally inclined to aspire for more. HOPE Educators nurture these aspirations, guiding students to set goals and dream big, preparing them for a future filled with possibilities.
