For our first few years, we rented the education wing Florida Street Baptist Church. It was a great partnership — the building was well suited for our needs as a school and the rent paid allowed the aging congregation to thoughtfully plan their future as a church. Eventually, church leadership decided to close the church, and as part of that, wanted to leave a legacy of care for the Glenwood neighborhood. To our great honor, they voted to gift the building to Hope Academy GSO. This ensured a permanent, debt-free home for us in Glenwood! We will forever be grateful to our friends at Florida Street Baptist Church.

Over the years our enrollment has grown. We now serve over 100 students. 2021 marked an exciting year for Hope Academy GSO as we opened our first Kindergarten classroom. This is a big move forward toward of our goal of becoming a K-8th grade school.

We’ve enjoyed a rich history that bears the fingerprints of so many — we appreciate our community first and foremost. We have the best parents & students in Greensboro! We are also incredibly grateful to our many church and business partners, as well as the individuals who dedicate their time and resources to providing an excellent Christ-centered education for students in Glenwood. Here’s to the next chapter!
