New Hope Academy PreK3 - High School

What New Hope Academy PreK3 - High School does

New Hope Academy is an independent, nonprofit private school serving PreK-3 through 12th-grade students from a single 8-acre campus at 7009 Varnum Street in Prince George's County, Maryland (Landover Hills / Hyattsville). Founded in 1990 by a group of concerned parents, the school operates on a tuition-based revenue model supplemented by financial aid (administered via FACTS) and ancillary programs such as before- and after-care, with 20+ enrichment programs and a 12:1 student-teacher ratio. Its core differentiator is an explicitly interfaith and international community — 20+ faiths and 35+ nationalities — reinforced by SEVIS certification that enables F-1 international student enrollment and by MDSE accreditation across the full PreK-3 to 12th-grade span. Operational technology stack is standard EdTech SaaS: RenWeb for school management and FACTS for tuition/financial-aid processing, with AI translation tools deployed to support international-family communication. Reported outcomes include a 95% college acceptance rate, 98% parent satisfaction, and a 40-hour community-service graduation requirement; programmatic offerings include Korean and Spanish language tracks, a Pre-Legal Studies Program, and a partnership with the Amazon Future Engineers Program for STEM pathways.

Leadership comprises Executive Director and Founding Principal Joy Morrow and Principal Dolores Muhammad (appointed spring 2025). The school's forward strategy centers on extending the academic calendar (Summer 2026 programs), broadening international enrollment via SEVIS and AI translation, and deepening curriculum differentiation through new language and pre-professional tracks. With 29 reported employees, the institution is a small, single-site operator whose growth levers are programmatic depth, international-student mix, and seasonal/ancillary revenue rather than geographic expansion or M&A.
