Students enrolled in Hope Academy are  selected from 4th grade (elementary class 4) through JSS3 (Gade 9). Students are accepted into the programs based on teacher recommendations which takes into account academic performance as well as behavior.   Every effort is made to ensure gender equity among the selected students.

All student participants and their  parents must sign an agreement to participate and follow the Hope Academy code of conduct and engagement.

There is no fee to participate in any Hope Academy programs,  although students and parents may be required to occasionally engage in fundraising projects to support activities within the Academy.
