We're on the road. Together.

It's not how far we walk. It's how far we have come. And now, powered by your dedication to the cause, it's how far we will go.

When NAMIWalks, we knock down walls. We topple obstacles. We realize dreams. Our rallying call, "Mental Health for All," is closer than ever before.

No one is alone - because everyone is encouraged. There is a spirit of inclusion at NAMIWalks that makes the event feel special. So many stories are shared and traditions started. Participants are united by the knowledge that they are making the difference by coming together for mental health.

Behind the fundraising is the fun. NAMIWalks are more than just an event. They are festive gatherings filled with smiles, celebrations and meaningful moments. Will you join us? You deserve it!

NewHope Academy: Private Therapeutic Day School

# data[].attributes.body
Impact and Reputation:

Since September 2000, NewHope Academy has earned a reputation for a strong commitment to offering a challenging academic and therapeutic environment. Since its inception, hundreds of students have utilized our program; many returning to their home school full time and achieving success in college, work, and beyond. The school's emphasis on academic achievement and character development ensures that students leave NewHope Academy as self-resilient and internally motivated individuals. NewHope Academy stands as a beacon of hope and excellence in education.

Mission:

NewHope Academy's mission is to provide students with a safe, therapeutic, and educational environment where they develop skills to become effective leaders, gain personal insight, and acquire coping strategies. Students earn school credit while working to achieve their intellectual and social-emotional potential.

Academic Programs:

NewHope Academy offers the most academically rigorous curriculum among therapeutic schools in Illinois, designed to meet the individual needs of all students. Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual-enrollment opportunities, and honors classes are available for students seeking additional academic challenges.

Character Education and Values:

At the heart of NewHope Academy is its commitment to student-centered education. The school emphasizes the importance of values such as integrity, respect, responsibility, and empathy.

Afterschool Clubs and Activities

From D&D, to music/art to study hall we have it all!

After-school activities and clubs play a vital role in enriching students' lives beyond the classroom. They provide opportunities for personal growth, allowing students to explore their interests and passions in a more informal setting. These activities foster important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and time management. Additionally, they offer a sense of belonging and camaraderie among peers. We encourage involvement in various extracurriculars at NHA which is included in our daily rate.
