After School Program

The supplemental tutoring and academic enrichment programs target students from under-performing ruralartclass schools to provide supplemental educational services outside of school hours, especially for the lowest-achieving students. 

Hope Integrated Academy runs a need-based after-school program to provide opportunities for primary and secondary level students from the area who attend other local schools to receive tutoring and home work help. The program runs in the evenings and on weekends. Students can receive extra help to supplement what they learn from their schools. The library and computer center are open to students in this program. They can use books and computers to do homework. The majority of the local schools lack these resources; therefore, the program is a great resource to the community.

The community library is stocked with books for kindergarten, primary school, and secondary levels. A small collection of medical books for nursing students is also available.
