Founded in 1994, Hope Hall educates students in a supportive, multi-sensory learning environment so that all students can become successful learners. Serving students in grades 3 through 12 from 19 school districts in the Greater Rochester Area, Hope Hall’s nurturing, non-threatening, creative atmosphere encourages students to take risks in learning and helps them reverse the cycle of academic failure.

Hope Hall’s collaborative approach to learning connects faculty, staff and families as team members in a community of learning. Students previously considered to be educationally “at risk” experience academic success, not only at Hope Hall, but also in high school and beyond.

Hope Hall is the only school to offer the Mastery In Learning Program© which teaches the New York State curriculum in a non-traditional way. Strategies are designed to meet the needs of students who have experienced frustration in traditional classroom settings.
