Mission

Hope Technology School is a not -for -profit school, established in 2001, with the mission of providing an exceptional learning experience for typical and special needs children in a fully inclusive, technology rich environment.  
 
Inclusive Method

Our inclusive ratio is 60% neurotypical students and 40% students with developmental differences. Maintaining small class size (average 12 students per class) with at least one teacher and one para-educator per class affords each student the support to reach his or her full potential. Technology plays a vital role in the motivation and progress of our students. Students at all levels utilize computers and other innovative technology; we also use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and assistive technology (AT) to foster reading, writing and math and communication skills.
