Our Program

Direct Instruction

  • HOPE Academies teach reading using the Direct Instruction (DI) method. Using this method, the teacher explains a concept or skill by breaking it down into smaller components. With guidance from the teacher, a student masters one component before moving on to the next.
     
  • The teaching and support materials for the Direct Instruction program have a high degree of structure, providing a thorough, consistent, and effective presentation.
     
  • The Direct Instruction reading program is research based, field tested, and proven effective by overwhelming statistical evidence.
     
  • Teachers and instructors receive the training and continuous coaching needed to effectively implement the program.

The HOPE Academies and Riverside Academy are community schools established under Chapter 3314 of the Revised Code. These schools are public schools and students enrolled in and attending the schools are required to take proficiency tests and other examinations prescribed by law. In addition, there may be other requirements for students at the schools that are prescribed by law. Students who have been excused from the compulsory attendance law for the purpose of home education as defined by the Administrative Code shall no longer be excused for that purpose upon their enrollment in a community school. For more information about this matter contact the school administration or the Ohio Department of Education.
