Background

Blueprint Education Logo and NCA Accreditation Seal

It is sponsored by the Arizona State Board of Charter Schools as a tuition free public school. In 2009 HHSO is rated as a PERFORMING school.

Hope High School Online serves students in ninth through twelfth grades, and has selected Blueprint Education as its curriculum provider. Blueprint Education is accredited through North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA-CASI) and the Commission on International and Trans Regional Accreditation (CITA).

This school without walls is a non-traditional learning environment using the Internet and textbooks. Students report to class at their computer, anytime of the day or night – whatever your schedule.
