Students are responsible for many individual projects and presentations, giving them opportunities to monitor themselves on deadlines and practice presentation skills before a group. Students read, analyze and discuss literature, discovering their personal preferences in writing styles and interests along the way. Homework is required on a daily basis, and students are working on at least one long-term project at any given time. Students are tested and placed in math according to their level and follow a rigorous curriculum often with tutorial-based instruction. New Hope High School engages students in a hands-on involvement with science.
Students don t just study science they DO science.
Concepts taught in history and social sciences are similar to survey courses at a college level with expectations of writing projects and tests made age appropriate. Electives are available in fine arts, music, life skills, foreign language, physical education and computer instruction. Character is the first criteria for success at New Hope and weighs heavily in admitting students. We seek students who are service oriented, who demonstrate civic and moral virtue, and who can set an exemplary standard as roles models in the school. Students with serious behavioral and discipline problems will not be given consideration.
