We’re honored to be part of a national movement expanding access to classical Christian education in under-resourced urban communities. Through collaboration with school founders, affiliates, generous sponsors, and aligned partners, we are making a lasting impact—together.
Founder Schools
These are schools that have completed our Six-Step Founder Program and launched thriving classical Christian schools in cities across the country.

What Edu-preneurs Are Saying
K-12 education is an unparalleled missional opportunity in urban American cities. But how do you start a school? That was the question I had – and Spreading Hope Network gave us the answers. They provided the coaching, encouragement, resources, and many other pieces we needed to plant an excellent Christian school in a low-income context. Kenosha Christian Academy wouldn’t be here without Spreading Hope.
“We are living at perhaps the most opportunistic time in the history of our nation to expand accessibility and affordability for Christian Education! The community, resources, and momentum building through the work of the Spreading Hope Network is intersecting perfectly with two key opportunities: the rapid expansion of school choice along with heightened desires from families to align their children’s education with their faith and values!”
