New Hope Academy (NHA) is an independent Pre-K3-12th grade private school, in mid-Prince George's County, MD, a suburb of Washington D.C. NHA is an international and inter-faith school, emphasizing character development and a strong academic program. NHA is a STEAM school focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math coupled with the Arts. Learning at NHA is inquiry-based, and experiential, and includes environmental awareness, service learning, and leadership and communication training.

The college prep high school has several pathways to graduation. Juniors may qualify for an Early Graduation Program if they maintain a 3.25 CGPA beginning in the 9th grade, and meet all other requirements. Seniors who maintain a 2.5 CGPA are eligible to apply and test to take courses concurrently at local community and four-year colleges. Internships may also be available.
Over 25% of our 6-12th grade students are recognized annually as outstanding scholars by the President's Education Awards Program for their academic excellence in maintaining a 3.5 CGPA or higher for the entire academic year.

AP Calculus, AP Biology and AP Computer Science are offered yearly as well as a rotation of other AP courses. Students have opportunities for humanitarian and service learning abroad. For nearly 30 years NHA has established an annual three weeks summer program in The Gambia, Africa. Trips to learn about Science, Spanish and Korean language and culture and high school study abroad programs are available to qualified students.

Plans are in the process to expand sports and Upper School facilities. NHA is also proud of its award-winning dance and performing arts programs for students of all ages.
