Most schools in the United States are facing insurmountable hurdles, such as the lack of available resources and manpower to engage, motivate, and encourage high-risk students to push past limiting barriers to academic success.
The Hope Key Foundation is a a non-profit organization that helps high-risk students get back on the path to academic success. Our program offers life changing academic support to high-risk and specific learning disorder (SLD) students.
Hope Key is one of the only educational programs in the state of Arizona to offer continuous on-site student support.
We support the students throughout the entire day, providing support while the students are in the classroom and after school.
We’re Always There With Students.
