Hope Academy

Hope Academy provides the children of expatriate workers​ in Central Asia with an English medium education​ that addresses the uniqueness and potential of each child, and encourages the spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, and emotional growth of our students. We seek to instill in our students an ethical worldview​ that will equip them for effective service to society.

We started as a parent cooperative in 1998 with 10 students. Since then, we have grown to include three buildings with 14 classrooms, a computer lab, two science labs, two art rooms, an assembly hall, an 18,000-volume library, administrative offices, a playground, and a sports field. The school includes 146 students from 18 countries​, organized in an Elementary School (Preschool – Grade 5) and Secondary School (Middle School: Grades 6-8, High School: Grades 9-12). Approximately 60% of the students speak a language other than English​ at home. These students are served by 33 teachers, and 17 support staff, representing 13 countries.

Parents cooperate closely with the staff to develop and deliver our programs in a way that celebrates cultural diversity​ and promotes unity​ in our core values and goals. Rigorous academic life​ is punctuated by weekly assemblies and frequent celebrations and student-initiated special events.
