Hope Academy
Tree 4 Hope operates Hope Academy Guatemala and Hope Academy PA. Visit us online here: https://www.wearehopeacademy.org
Hope Academy Guatemala is a STEAM-based, Spanish and English bilingual school for girls with support for Kaqchikal, the indigenous Mayan language of the region,and hands-on internships at local businesses—in Santa Lucia Milpas Altas.
Hope Academy PA is located in Middletown, PA USA and is a STEAM-based, Spanish and English bilingual preschool for boys and girls accepting new student enrollments. Follow Hope Academy PA on Facebook to stay up to date!
The Guatemala school has grown from one kindergarten classroom in 2019 at the Miguel Magone orphanage to a new, modern school building with over 100 girls in pre-K through Grade 6. Our pre-school campus in Middletown, PA USA opened in 2023 and is rapidly growing to ensure that every child has access to the preschool education they deserve.
Why is this important? Education changes everything. It opens doors for countless opportunities to children throughout the world. Through our unique global classroom environment, we are pioneering global education where students around the world can learn together and build communities that transcend borders while preparing them to be changemakers of the future.
Food Security
Every day, Tree 4 Hope delivers fruit, vegetables, and meat to 215 children at the Miguel Magone orphanage and the village of El Aguacate.
Why is this important? Daily deliveries of food ensure that every child has access to the nutrition they need to grow into the people they were meant to be.
Music Education
Each year, Tree 4 Hope funds a full-time music instructor, twice weekly music lessons,and performance opportunities for 100+ children at the Miguel Magone orphanage and the village of El Aguacate.
Why is this important? Learning and creating music gives children the opportunity to do the work of change, to empower the whole person, to be themselves in a world that often demands elsewise.
Psychological Care
Tree 4 Hope supports the costs for two full-time psychologists who conduct initial evaluations, hold counseling sessions, and attend court hearings for children at the Miguel Magone orphanage.
Why is this important? The importance of psychological care can’t be overstated. All of the children here have experienced trauma. We work to untie the knots in their hearts that keep them locked down and affect their everyday relationships.
Community Outreach
Once a month, Tree 4 Hope provides funding for an “ancianos” luncheon where the elders of El Aguacate share a meal, play bingo, and dance with the children at the Miguel Magone orphanage.
Why is this important? When the orphanage can also act as a community center, a hub, it creates an opportunity for the children to form intergenerational relationships and a sense of connection and hope not just for the elders, but for the children as well.
