Education in urban areas faces significant challenges:

Academic Gaps

Urban public school students score below the national average in reading and math (NAEP, 2022).

Lower Graduation Rates:

In the 2019–20 school year, graduation rates in urban areas were 5–9% lower than in other communities.

Higher Poverty Rates:

77% of urban public school students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (NCES, 2019–20).

We’ve Been There— Now We Walk With You

For over 25 years, Spreading Hope Network has partnered with leaders to launch thriving classical Christian schools in some of the toughest cities in America. These schools serve students who need it most and provide lasting, Gospel-centered change through high-quality education.

Starting a School Can Feel Overwhelming

Starting a school in an urban area has many challenges, but the rewards are transformational. Without the right tools and resources, you may struggle with:

Funding Hurdles

Securing financial funding in communities with limited resources can be difficult & requires strategic planning and connections.

Unclear Mission

Clarifying your school’s purpose and long-term goals can feel overwhelming without experienced  guidance.

Team Building

Attracting the right staff & teachers often means competing with larger institutions offering more  resources.

Navigating Alone

Launching a school without a support network can lead to  burnout & missed opportunities for collaboration.
