Supporting Hope Hall
Hope Hall School is a private, non-sectarian, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit school designed for students in grades 2-12 with special learning needs who consistently experience frustration in the traditional classroom setting. Our students come to us with ADD, ADHD, autism, Central Auditory Processing and anxiety disorders, or simply a low average IQ. Hope Hall is committed to the belief that when students are given respect and enough time in a supportive, multi-sensory learning environment, they can become successful learners.
Hope Hall receives very limited funding from the state and federal government and tuition covers less than a third of our expenses. Financial support from individuals like you ensure every child who needs Hope Hall can access the quality education program that will help them thrive. Thank you for choosing to help our students succeed!
