The Hope Academy is a charter school that opened in 2014 to Providence and North Providence students in kindergarten through seventh grade. As a charter school, the academy is a public school. It is tuition free, but admission is by lottery. The school's philosophy emphasizes teamwork. Teachers, families, administrators and support staff all work together to create a wholesome environment and exciting learning opportunities for their students. Hope’s low student-teacher ratio of 18-to-1 makes it easier for the school to customize its curriculum per student. The Hope Academy promotes respect, compassion, integrity and inclusivity among its students, believing these principles are an important part of the learning experience and childhood development. Teachers strive to energize their students every day. Located in Lower South Providence, the Hope Academy is well-funded. The playground was rebuilt in 2021, and the school resides in a well-kept, non-profit building called Meeting Street.

Really unhappy with this school... families beware. If you are looking for a high staff turnover rate, poor communication, empty promises and a below average education than by all means, send your child to Hope.

I wrote the April 20, 2021 review and my opinion of the school has changed drastically since then. Last year ended well, but this Fall has been a deeply mediocre experience at best. I noted in my previous review that homework and bullying were weak spots. This continues to be the case, but much more...

Absolute garbage schoool. They put kids on the wrong bus and don’t apologize for it. They have petty antics. Make up their own rules and their staff is rude ! Your kids are better off in public school trust me!
