They try to hide everyone gets along, but this is a very toxic environment for your students if they are sensitive. Which it's okay to be sensitive, but no one should have to make them feel this way. One of the worst schools the teachers are too strict and they don't want students to express themselves freely. For once let the students express themselves and how they want to show their understanding.

A private Roman Catholic high and amongst a network of 25 Catholic high schools in the states that provide college preparatory education to urban youth who reside in communities with limited educational resources. This Jesuit High School in collaboration with Urban Ventures Colin Powell Center provide services and support to help students grade 9-12 graduate from high school and pursue a college education. These low income inner city youth are given an education based faith on the condition that they do well in school and perform well at their perspective corporate jobs that they are given during school. The idea is through corporate partnerships these students are given a real-life work experience working at least one day a week in banks, law firms and hospitals. And the students earnings pay for half of their tuition at school. Good school, good program but in my opinion, it places too much emphasis on faith, maybe it is the nihilist in me, but than again I have volunteered here, so I know what I am talking about. There have been instances of kids leaving because of the pressure to perform and the stagnant daily routine where kids are missing out the 'high school experience'. The school says all faiths are accepted, I have yet to see anyone of a different faith. And I am not sure whether that will ever change, especially when the school's emphasis and education are geared towards the Jesuit tradition. It could be the old religious adage that my god has a bigger penis than your god, but having read about imitateo dei, I am left asking, what would Jesus really do? Volunteers are always needed.

I've taken intro classes in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign as well as an intermediate course in InDesign. While online resources have made these programs somewhat easy to learn, getting a few days of in person instruction has really taken me further. If you've got a weekend to spare, the two-day workshops are really great!

My second visit was for my nieces music program, which was done very nicely.. My niece speaks often and highly about all she learns, her teachers and her environment. If I had children, I would want them enrolled at Hope Academy as well. Ambiance: Located on Chicago Avenue and 25th. There was no lot adjacent to the school, however there is street parking and a ramp directly across the street. Growing up on the South Side, It is located literally next door to one of the most drug saturated parks in South Minneapolis (Franklin & Chicago), but prior to building the school, they started cleaning the park up. The neighborhood has changed some over the years and has become a different environment for children to play, bus and be educated. The school itself has secured doors and only one entrance in and out for visitors.
