Hope Academy welcomes you to join our team now or the 2024-2025 academic school year.
Thank you for your interest in working with us. A little bit about Hope Academy, we service students on the autism spectrum from Kindergarten through 12th grade. We strive to be unique and offer services that other schools do not offer. We have animal therapy come in weekly with different animals such as an alpaca, miniature horses, and so many different types of dogs! We have music, P.E, special olympics, clubs, and a cooking class.
We want our students to experience everything possible because we know they are capable of achieving it all. We coordinate school events and field trips at least once a month if not more! We go above and beyond for our students for any holidays! We are currently looking for teachers and teacher aides who are fun, energetic, and want to really make a difference in our students' lives. It is very rewarding to see first hand the students' happiness and joy.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please reach out to us to schedule an interview. Looking forward to hearing from you!
