Walking the streets of San Jose in the pouring rain. Praying to be fearless and for God to open our hearts to the lost and broken-hearted. Our teens humbly and compassionately prayed over police officers and people on the streets. People just want to know they matter and that they are loved. For some of us, this started as an uncomfortable ministry effort. For ALL of us, this ended as a transformative life experience. #prayerispowerful #jesusisourhope #evangelismtraining #teensforchrist #loveconquersfear

We don’t just grow gardens—we grow thinkers, doers, and world-changers. Thank you parents, grandparents and special friends-family who came out to support our students💕 Love our school.

If your child is not reading by age 4 or 5…Do. Not. Stress! Children read at different paces that’s why building strong pre-literacy skills is critical to future success. At MHA, our individual approach attends to and challenges each child wherever they are. Kindergarten at MHA nurtures children’s natural love of learning, sparks curiosity and creates building blocks for academic progress. To learn more about our educational approach visit marianhopeacademy.org

From Kindergarten to High School, our students are building a foundation rooted in Christ-centered service by joyfully serving our friends at Benton House! This hands-on experience develops God-honoring habits and fosters purpose through serving others. This is the heart of MHA: - Empowering every child’s unique strengths - Teaching students to lead and serve - Creating friendships that cross every barrier - Growing a generation that will make room in their businesses, their churches, and their lives for others who may need just a little more time, patience, and LOVE.

So proud of our creative students!

SHARK TANK: MHA STYLE When we say we are a school of Real-life Learning…we mean it!

Not only will they gain life skills, but they’ll also grasp science and math in real ways. 🍅📚 What an amazing blend of life skills and academics! 🌿 #microschool #christianschool #smarteducation #healthybrainhappylife

Helping our kids grow their God-given talents while building God-honoring habits. Let’s guide them to live with purpose and faith!

So much fun at MHA today as we brought our favorite book characters to life. Fostering a LOVE for reading! 📚 #christianschool #bluespringsmo #smallclasses

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Sometimes, it’s in our hardest moments that we find the most strength. At MHA, we learn daily that it’s okay to lean into our weaknesses because that’s where growth happens. Together, we’re stronger and constantly reminded that grace carries us through. #privateeducation #christianeducation #bluesprings #leessummit

No two learners are the same. Education should not be a herd mentality approach. We need to meet a child where they are and approach their education at a place and pace that inspires them to become lifelong learners! Experience the MHA Difference! #privateschool #christianschool #bluespringsmo #leessummit #independencemo #doingeducationdifferently

What was life like before Marian Hope Academy? One parent shares their experience and the amazing progress their child has made since becoming part of our school community. 🌱

At Marian Hope Academy, we believe in nurturing young hearts and minds. Guiding our students on a path of faith and knowledge, we shepherd them into a deeper understanding of Christ and a lifelong love of learning. 🌟📚

There’s no substitute for hands-on learning! ✨ At Marian Hope Academy, we believe in teaching beyond the books. Through practical experiences and faith-based guidance, our students grow in wisdom and understanding.

Our elementary kiddos hit their goal!! They read over 10,000 minutes! Since they have hit their goal, they get to pie Ms. Krystal in the face!!!

Of all the things we teach, God’s Word matters most! Our Kindergarten class is incredible at memorizing scripture and storing it in their hearts. I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.~Isaiah 26:3

🌟 At Marian Hope Academy, our focus remains unwavering: teaching identity in Jesus Christ. We are all about cultivating obedient hearts to the gospel. In a world where discipleship-building schools are in dire need, MHA stands firm in its mission to instill the values of denying self, picking up the cross, and following Jesus (Matthew 16:24). Romans 12:2 reminds us we’re called NOT to conform to the patterns of the world. We want our students equipped to fearlessly go against the grain and fulfill the purpose God has called on each of their lives. Join us in shaping hearts and minds for Christ. The harvest is great, but the workers are few….and our time on earth is a blink in accordance to all of eternity. Let’s make a difference together. #MarianHopeAcademy #IdentityInChrist #DiscipleshipEducation 📚🙏

MHA recognizes that each student has unique strengths, interests, and learning styles. Therefore, it provides personalized learning experiences tailored to meet the needs of each student.

GO CHIEFS!!!

Your child deserves an educational experience where: - They are KNOWN - truly known - and not just a data point - They are CHALLENGED to think critically, problem-solve and prepared with real world skills - They develop a sense of identity and PURPOSE in Christ. We believe all children should learn holistically, hands-on, through real world problem solving and exploration. We offer a Christ-centered approach that focuses on your child and his/her development. How do we do this? Small classes, evidence based practices, and the most caring, passionate educators! Check us out! marianhopeacademy.org

In our close-knit community, we emphasize the importance of character, values, and meaningful connections. We encourage students to explore their unique talents, passions, and embrace a sense of purpose. Our goal is to help each student develop into compassionate, empathetic individuals ready to make a positive impact on the world.

We see our kids not just as students but as future leaders. By fostering leadership skills, resilience, and a sense of responsibility, we empower them to make positive contributions to the world around them.

Science City Fun!

Marian Hope Academy is not just about acquiring facts; it’s about transforming hearts and minds. We believe that a Christ-centered education lays the foundation for a lifetime of purpose, compassion, and service to others.

We welcomed some new friends into our Kindergarten class this week. These little “pocket dogs”, also known as rats, are so smart! They can be trained like dogs yet are small enough to fit in a pocket. Unlike their wild ancestors, pet rats are clean, social, and a ton of fun to observe. Students are gearing up to make houses out of legos for them. Let the responsibility habits and learning fun continue! Meet Daisy, Oreo, Biscuit and Snickers!
