“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!”

Andrew Neumann
CEO, Open Sky Education

“For years we had been praying about starting a classical Christian school for under-resourced families in Oklahoma City. We were unsure how to start without significant tuition revenue, and Spreading Hope Network came at just the right time. They coached our team in many elements of a start-up school and set us up for a sustainable funding strategy. We opened in 2019 with 40 students.”
