I taught for 35 years in the public school system and worked with a lot of dedicated and knowledgeable people, but none of these people can beat the faculty and staff at Hope Academy. I teach 12 teenagers with special needs and they receive a well rounded education at this facility. Everyone is encouraged to work to their potential and are accepted as they are. I believe we are top at what we do.

On 6/11/18 I visited St. Michael Special School in New Orleans in regards to my sister whom was a…read moreprevious student at the school for many years until hurricane Katrina. My goal upon arrival was to gather information on the Joy center where she requested to attend school. As I arrived I spoke to the receptionist who directed me to speak with the administrative director whom then informed me that my sister would Not be allowed to attend the school do to the limited space since she DID NOT graduate from St. Michael Special School. I explained that my sister did not graduate because Hurricane Katrina took place her senior year. She received her class ring, but like many others we had to relocate due to the fact that our home was destroyed. Unfortunately, the director just stated, " I'm sorry but that's our rules". I believe the company should make an exception for students who had to leave their school on those terms. That was not the student choice. It was by force due to the natural disaster. At the least, this school should offer a waiting list and make exceptions under these conditions. Many parents sacrificed years of paying tuition to ensure their child would receive a exceptional education only to find that upon return to the school they loved the door would be shut in there face. This has been a very displeasing experience and I will be placing her in another program. I CAN NO LONGER RECCOMEMED THIS PROGRAM TO OTHERS ON THE GROUNDS THAT THERE IS NO CONSIDERATION FOR PEOPLE WHO HAD TO REBUILD AND START OVER! P.S St. Michael Special School can accept thousands in tuition, but the minute you don't graduate (due to personal reasons are natural disaster) you are officially abandoned and will not be able to continue to the adult joy center program. I find this to be extremely distasteful and upsetting. Resolution: Be considerate of those who were about to graduate but weren't able due to the natural disaster. As a catholic organization it is a duty to show compassion to others while being considerate of their needs.

"Amazing mother's day out program & preschool". My daughter began her schooling here when she was…read more2 years old (3 years ago). Me and my husband were impressed from the moment we set foot in the door and were warmly welcomed by the school's director. She gave us a tour of the school, while in session, so we got to see which class our daughter would be in and how the structure of the day would be. For the first 2 years, she stayed home with me so this was going to be a great way to not only add structure but allow for some socialization with other children. She started at Mother's Day Out just 2 days/week (Tues & Thurs) from 9am - 1pm and was great. On the first day, she went in like a champ, no crying and no fighting me when getting out of the car. Her teachers were the sweetest (2 teachers for Mother's Day Out" and she absolutely loved them, too! The first year in school was a success! There was religious teaching and music class, too! Now, onto her 2nd year in school as a 3-year old. A new teacher, (just one this time), but now, in addition to religious teaching and music, PE was now part of the curriculum. Additionally, parents got to participate in classroom parties and her class got to take part in the Christmas and end-of-year program. This was a 3-day/week program and she enjoyed it very much because she had friends there from the previous year that she already made in addition to the new ones! The day was from 9am - 11:45am and the option to stay for lunch bunch until 1pm. Her 3rd and final year there was pre-school and art was also added to the curriculum. A new director was in place, who already knew the kids because she was teacher there... it was a smooth transition for everyone! She truly loved school and was going 5 days/week. Each day she looked forward to school and wanted to spend the day with her friends. Was this the beginning of the end for me of her no longer wanting to spend time with mommy? That was not the case at all! It was so great to see her so happy to attend school and listen to her tell me all about her day, when she got in the car! This school was top-notch! I would recommend this to any parent(s) looking for a Mother's Day Out Program and/or a Preschool Program. Ask for a tour... they would love to give it to you!
