| We
are a Catholic school which welcomes families from all faith
backgrounds
and walks of life. Our school serves the educational needs of families
in all parts of Alberta. It is our hope that we may become pathfinders
in offering Gospel-centered educational assistance to individuals both
in this province and around the world. |

| The
School of Hope is a partnership of students, parents and teachers
dedicated
to student learning, the celebration of individual gifts, the
achievement
of educational goals and the realization of personal challenges, to the
glory of God.
Because
Home Schooling is a legal provision granting parents the opportunity to
educate their children in a home setting, facilitated by a school board
(resident or non) and regulated by Alberta Learning, we believe that
parents
are fully responsible for their children's education and, as the School
of Hope, we are pleased to be able to be partners in that process.
