Chicago Hope Academy

My son will be attending this school this coming school year. From the begining they have been very helpful and kind. I like the fact that the school has smaller classes. I myself attended a small private school and feel there is more «one to one» attiention paid to the student. I also like the fact that Christian ideals are part of the curriculum, being brought of Catholic myself. So far, he has nothing but good things to say about the school or at least the football team he has joined. I am so glad we found this school. The tuition is very reasonable ($ 8000 a yr), with financial assistance available. The other private/​Catholic schools were way to expensive. Thankfully, Chicago Hope has allowed me to send my son to a Christian based school without having to stress out to much about next months tuition payment!

My nephew came here and I have to say its a really nice academy. I love the fact that it still kept some of its vintage Charm.
A turning point came in 1983, when the National Register accepted the application of neighborhood residents to designate Tri-​Taylor with historic district status. This was something that was duly noted in the archives of the City.
Chicago Hope Academy is a private high school in what was once (and still is in my eyes) Little Italy and now Tri-​Taylor, which is the heart of Chicago. It is coed and Christian affiliated, serving 150 students in grades 9 – 12. On any given day you will see the students running around outside just playing and having a good time before entering class.
If you go around back (through the Ogden Avenue side), look up and you will see the 8 foot tall clock that gives you the correct time above all the cars that it oversees. It is a nice look to an other wise vintage building.
All in all, the inside is very pristine with its shiny floors that seem to get cleaned every minute of the day. Shining the way it did maybe back in the beginning. Its architecture and attention to detail really amazes me, I wish I knew who was the architect but alas, that would be a little going too far back.
If you are ever in the area, come back and ask to get a tour, I’m sure the principal would not mind at all. It is located in a hidden section of Bowler street and Oakley. The front of the school seems to be a park with benches, but the private school can boast amazing detail.
