“If it weren’t for our visit to Hope Academy and all the coaching we received from Spreading Hope Network, we may never have had the confidence to follow God’s lead in doing the crazy work of starting a school. The Lord provided abundantly, and we launched in 2019 with grades K-2. Today, we serve nearly 100 students in grades K-6.”
Spreading Hope’s assistance with fundraising, communication planning & infrastructure, access to Hope’s documents and model, as well as their prayer and encouragement – all of it helped Ignite Classical start well.
