How to enroll in Hope Academy classes

Log into your existing account in our FAMILY PORTAL or, if you are new, set up an account. This is where you will enroll in classes, workshops and events. If you are applying for a scholarship, please set up an account in the FAMILY PORTAL but do not enroll in any classes. We will do that for you once the scholarship has been awarded and accepted. 

Please note, a $30 per year registration fee is applied to each student, except for those who are only taking one of our FREE classes.
