Our Mission
Our Mission
Hampden DuBose Academy’s mission is to help students develop in the ways and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, lead them in the pursuit of academic excellence, and promote the development of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and clear Biblical thinking.
Our heartfelt desire for those who graduate and leave Hampden is to be inspired and guided by the Lord's will as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. We wish to encourage them to make decisions about college and career with the question, "What does God have in store for me?" as their guiding principle. We aim to help them understand that a vocation might differ from their calling in the Lord and that degrees and certifications do not automatically qualify them for God's work; rather, it is God who qualifies and equips them for His purpose.
Our ultimate goal is to assist them in learning how to discern the Lord's voice and direction for their future. While we support their passions and dreams, our prayer is that they come to realize that God has even greater dreams for them, dreams they may not even be aware of at this moment. We trust that they seek and find their true calling in the Lord, and may their lives be filled with purpose, guided by His divine plan.

The administration reserves the right of final approval of all student selections based on:
Course availability
Past student performance
Special testing may be given to determine the student’s capabilities and talents
Florida school law mandates
The administration reserves the right to delete courses from this Educational Planning Guide when it becomes apparent that the school cannot offer courses due to the lack of student enrollment, the lack of qualified teaching resources, or changes in state laws. Applicable state law changes or modifications will be adopted.
The administration is not obligated to offer chosen courses out of sequence from regular course progressions offered to specific grade levels. This includes failed courses or courses taken out of sequence.
The administration seeks to meet each individual student’s needs, whenever possible.
Students are encouraged to make up failed courses in summer school or online immediately following the failure.
Transfer and special case students are considered on a case-by-case basis. Hampden DuBose Academy will accept credits from bona fide high school programs.
Specific transfer courses that meet Hampden requirements will be credited as such. Other miscellaneous transfer credits will be acknowledged as elective credits.
Homeschooled students will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
If a transfer student’s performance is lacking because of inadequate preparation, the school may require the student to seek remedial help at the parent's expense. In the case of serious deficiencies, students may be asked to repeat a course, drop a course, or withdraw from school.
