residential care

Our comprehensive residential care program will offer struggling teen boys a safe, loving, Christ centered refuge.  The House of Hope healing environment will focus on restoration of the family, the teen's education and life skills instruction.

While living at the House of Hope, teens will receive professional counseling, mentoring, continue their education, and receive instruction in life skills.

Parent involvement is mandatory while the teen is at House of Hope. Parents or guardians will be expected to be on campus several times a week for visitation, counseling and parent classes. Healing at House of Hope involves the entire family.

House of Hope Orlando states, "the goal is to reconcile teens with their parents through counseling, education, love and most importantly prayer.  We base our program on biblical principles and provide Christ centered counseling for teen and parents."

HOPE ACADEMY ::

As we model after the successful House of Hope Orlando, "each student will attend our on campus Hope Academy, which features the Accelerated Christian Educational (ACE) program. The ACE program offers a high school diploma with transferable credits. Upon arrival, each student will be given a diagnostic test which determines an appropriate placement level in each course. An individualized educational program is then designed for each student, allowing them to progress at their own pace."

"Most students, because of behavioral problems, poor attendance, and lack of motivation are behind in their regular grade level when they come to House of Hope. In our program, they quickly make up courses and achieve their academic level."

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ::

Extra curricular activities will include selected field trips, activities associated with the creative arts; music, art, photography, and more. Creative art activities use the imagination and critical thinking skills which can reduce anxiety and emotional conflicts and increase social skills, personal expression, self-awareness, and self-esteem. The extra curricular activities are a way for teens to make choices and solve problems.

Teens who may be having difficulties in other parts of the school curriculum may find an expressive outlet through the creative arts. It’s a good way to uncover talent that may not be seen otherwise. 

Through the creative arts, teens can communicate ideas, feelings, and solutions in a way other than verbally or written.  The ability to relax and create new experiences can be very helpful for the struggling teen.
