New Hope Academy is a Pre-K through 6th grade elementary school located in Franklin, TN.  Our mission statement reads:

MISSON: New Hope Academy is a Christ-centered school educating children of diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds by establishing a Biblical worldview and preparing each child to flourish academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

An education at New Hope Academy is about more than academic excellence; it is about formation. Rooted in a biblical classical model and inspired by Charlotte Mason's methodology, we integrate subjects to create a cohesive and engaging learning experience. This approach builds a foundation for intellectual exploration, empowering students to develop a deeper understanding of the world and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. More importantly, we believe education is a means to know and love God, to steward our gifts for His glory, and to prepare students not just for a career but for a life of purpose - seeking the good of our neighbors, not merely the success of the individual.

We are committed to brightening futures through an education that nurtures students intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. In an environment of encouragement, support, and meaningful relationships, students experience strong academics, spiritual discipleship, and the transformative power of a diverse and connected community. At New Hope Academy, beauty is discovered in the richness of our differences, and true formation happens through learning, relationship, and faith.

This is our school mission statement - not just our diversity mission statement:

New Hope Academy is more than a school—it is a community engaged in the restorative work of God. Built on the belief that we are al in need-both rich and poor-it is a place where we come together to embrace the beauty of our Creator, experience His depth, and be transformed into His image. Our school is intentionally set apart, providing an exceptional Christ-centered education for all children, regardless of financial circumstances, in an environment that reflects the diversity of God's Kingdom.

At its founding, New Hope Academy committed to reserving 35% of its seats for children from low-income families, with the remaining seats filled by those paying ful or partial tuition. As a result, our student body is a vibrant reflection of racial, socio-economic, and cultural diversity, with over 50% of students from minority backgrounds. This diversity is not just an outcome-it si foundational to our mission, shaping a connected community where every child si known, loved, and given the opportunity to thrive. NHA is a place seeking to empower the poor, help break cycles of poverty and inspire racial reconciliation. We believe the gospel calls for a radical response to the underserved—one that requires both engagement and relationship.
