Esperanza Academy is an independent middle school that emphasizes racial and cultural identity affirmation, love of community, and restorative justice. By creating a culture of achievement in which academic success and self-discovery are paramount, we protect and nurture the innate confidence that each of our girls possesses. We accomplish this by being a restorative justice school that believes that relationships must come first. We believe that it is critical to center the lived experiences and cultural backgrounds of our families and to create a program that honors each of our students and the depth of beauty in their cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Above all, we know the systemic barriers that our students will face, so collectively, we work every day to create the world they wish to see. The magnitude of positive ripple effects on local, national, and global communities when investments in girls and women occur, is breathtaking. We believe in the amazing power of our girls and we welcome you to join us in witnessing their brilliance.
