HOPE ACADEMY

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

Hope Academy is a Washington Department of Education (OSPI) approved private school. We are accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission (using criteria established by the Cognia Global Commission) and by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Education is an important part of the Flying H Youth Ranch experience. The Flying H will help your son get back on track (and even move ahead) in his education.

Our program includes assessments of your son’s current needs and tailors a program suited to his learning abilities. Each young man receives close adult supervision with his studies in small classes. His schooling includes computer lab work, hands-on lab work, and classroom instruction. He will have vocational learning opportunities (such as welding, construction, agricultural, etc.) as well as his general education classes. Parents will receive regular updates on their son’s educational progress. We also provide parents with access grades online using Thinkwave.

Students are assessed on a regular basis including the Iowa Basics Assessments.

VISION STATEMENT

That each resident will know Christ and seek to make Him known.

OUR MISSION

The Flying H Youth Ranch exists to teach struggling young men and their families a Biblical understanding of life, including every person’s need for salvation through Jesus Christ and the development of godly character by becoming more like Him.

"For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." – 1 Thess. 5:9

OUR METHOD

of Jesus Christ thereby, becoming Spirit led servant leaders,

mentors and teachers in accordance to and in compliance with

the Holy Scriptures.
