Diversity at Hope Academy
Hope Academy affirms the dignity and worth of all people because all are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Hope Academy also recognizes the importance of diversity within the ministry as a part of reflecting the fullness of God’s image in creation.

Hope Academy does condition employment on faithful adherence to its biblical beliefs and as such, expects employees to be Christian role models who maintain a lifestyle based on biblical standards of moral conduct. Failure to adhere to Biblical standards violates the bona fide occupational qualification for employees to be Christian role models at Hope Academy.
