HOPE ACADEMY

Hope Academy is a public charter high school with about 28 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Hope Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Hope Academy, located at 8102 Clearvista Parkway in Indianapolis, is a unique, tuition-free public charter high school specifically designed for students recovering from substance use disorders. By providing a safe, sober, and supportive environment, the school helps students focus on their academic goals while maintaining their long-term recovery. The curriculum is fully accredited, allowing students to earn their high school diplomas while receiving the specialized behavioral and emotional support necessary to transition back into a traditional academic setting or prepare for post-secondary education.

Beyond academics, Hope Academy fosters a tight-knit community that prioritizes personal growth and peer accountability. The school integrates recovery programming directly into the student’s daily experience, ensuring that students do not have to choose between their education and their health. By removing the social pressures and environmental triggers often found in traditional schools, Hope Academy empowers its students to rebuild their lives, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and ultimately achieve success both inside and outside the classroom.
