HOPE Academy:
An Inner-City Program for Gifted Children
 Does
Your Child or Grandchild . . .
Make
up stories, invent things?
Seem
to be in constant motion?
Use
lots of big words?
Remember
everything?
Parents are
often the first to recognize that their child is "really smart"
and different from other children. HOPE Academy's mission is to
help families of all cultures, backgrounds, and incomes receive
equal opportunities to develop their children's special gifts.
What Does "Gifted" Mean?
Knowing your
child is different may seem scary. In fact, gifted children
who are not given chances to develop their abilities may show negative
behaviors, such as constant daydreaming, challenging authority and
being
disruptive.
But giftedness
also means that your child has exceptional potential and, if
given the proper education, can achieve great things.
How Can Hope Help?
HOPE Academy for
Gifted Children has studied the development of gifted children for
decades. We use special tools to help identify gifted children as
young as three years old. We know that the earlier gifted kids are
identified, the sooner we can help them reach their potential.
The HOPE Academy
program provides a challenging, rewarding and nurturing
environment for gifted kids, where they learn at their own pace.

children, like all kids, need the right environment to develop their
skills.
