About

The International Academy of Hope (iHOPE) is a highly specialized private school focused on educating students, ages 5-21, with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and multiple disabilities. It fulfills an unmet need in the community while serving as a model of best practices in the delivery of special education services. iHOPE provides students with a literacy-rich curriculum that incorporates a multidisciplinary and collaborative program including cognitive strategies, small group instruction, assistive technology, therapeutic intervention, behavior management, physical rehabilitation, social interaction, and transition services.

History

iHOPE opened its doors in 2013 for six children as a therapeutic and academic school for students with TBI and multiple disabilities. Since then, iHOPE's enrollment has continued to expand to more than 80 students, as families, advocates and educators have recognized the school as a leading institution in the field of traumatic brain injury. In 2019, as iHOPE continued to gain recognition within the greater community and field of disabilities, a partnership was formed with YAI, a leading nonprofit organization providing supportive programs for adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Together with YAI, iHOPE amplified its focus on student learning in April 2022 by relocating to a larger site, designed with the students in mind. The move enables the school to provide more comprehensive support in this a custom-designed facility.

All staff, professional and paraprofessional, demonstrate the highest expectations daily, for students and colleagues. Such an atmosphere is particularly important when dealing with pupils with disabilities, as research shows. This is reflected in daily lesson plans, in oral and written positive statements, the mandated Core Curriculum and Life Skills Curriculum, in I.E.P. development, and in the use of research-based materials and supplies. Teachers develop and support individualized instructional strategies during bi-weekly discussions within Lower, Middle, and Upper Grade communities, to further support high expectations. Professionals also actively guide paraprofessionals under their supervision in promoting the spirit and environment of high expectations and positive attitudes for students in the school community.
Our Vision
Widener Memorial School's vision is to uphold a productive atmosphere where students with various physical and medical disabilities successfully acquire skills and attitudes to ensure their fullest individual potential in school and in society. This is accomplished through the daily culture of high expectations and high academic rigor for all in order to promote positive pupil outcomes The process of developing an atmosphere of "Positive Thoughts, Positive Statements, Positive Expectations" has been a part of daily practice for many years. In addition, the size and demographics of all school staff, along with the unique needs of the student population, promote principles surrounding the celebration of diversity.
