Hope Academy

One usually associates a private Christian education with the privileged, with the middle or upper classes.  That's what makes Hope Academy in North Carolina so special; they are a private, faith-based middle school specifically focused on helping students who are in poverty.  Parents do pay tuition, but the rate is based on their income. 

When I hear about initiatives such as Hope Academy, I think, "What a way to put feet to your faith."  I wish we could refer several dozen Aim Right kids to a similar school because they could greatly benefit from this type of educational setting.  Watch the video linked to below and be inspired by how this school is impacting kids' lives.
