Distinctives

Curriculum Overview

Tuition payment plans

Amounts reflect 2009-2010 base tuition for one child—base annual tuition is $7844 with 2-3% discounts available depending on which payment plan you choose. A discount is available for multiple students in a family enrolled. Payment is requested in the form of a check made out to Hope Academy (cash is also accepted).

If additional one-to-one tutoring is needed this can be arranged for an additional fee, payable directly to the tutor. If assessments indicate that your child needs one-to-one tutoring this may be required to adequately meet your child's unique needs. Additional fees may also apply if your child needs extra supervision or significant amounts of one-to-one processing time with adults.

Staff Background

Beth Ellen Nash is the director and lead teacher. She is a certified teacher with a degree in Elementary Education (grades 1-9) from UW-Madison. Additionally, she has taken graduate course work in the Orton-Gillingham and the Davis dyslexia remediation programs, as well as National Institute of Learning Disabilities, earth and space science, and geography education. She has taught at Wingra School (7th & 8th grades) and substitute taught K-12 in the Oregon and Verona school districts. Beth Ellen's passion for struggling learners developed as she tutored over 35 individuals in the past 12 years.

Several other adults may also work with the students who are volunteers or hired part time at the discretion of the director. In the past, these adults have included a teacher with 30 years teaching experience and specialized training in learning disabilities, a parent who serving as a teacher's assistant, a friend with artistic skills, a scientist pursuing her master’s in special education, a parent who was a former public school teacher, a parent who is a college professor, and a parent with language fluency. We also believe in mentoring young adults considering teaching through an assistant role. A willingness to work with the whole-person, life-prep, student-centered philosophy of the school is more important to us than formal licensure for these part-time staff.
