Villa of Hope School is a NYS approved private 853 school created by Chapter 853 of the Laws of 1976. Our school is an academic special education program with supplemental counseling services.
Students are supported by a highly trained staff of academic classroom teachers, teachers’ assistants, social workers, psychologists, a school nurse, a curriculum specialist, and academic intervention services. Students who attend Villa of Hope School receive assistance in addressing their academic, social, behavioral and emotional needs.
Students are exposed not only to core subjects, but also have access to music, chorus, talent shows, work based learning opportunities, PUSH Physical Theatre, and partnerships with the local Red Wings, Amerks, and Knighthawks teams.
Our school can serve up to 72 students in grades 7 through 12. Students receive specialized daily instruction to ensure that all students achieve the knowledge and skills necessary to live independently and lead self-directed lives.

We are proud of our 100% graduation rate. More than 80% of our students go on to attend college, trade school, and/or enter the workforce or military upon graduation.
