Our History

Serving North Philadelphia since 2002

Hope Partnership for Education was founded by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus and Sisters of Mercy, with input from community residents, on the ideals that every Philadelphian should have access to a quality educational experience.

The instructional model originated at Nativity Mission Center in New York City in 1971 and promotes small class sizes, extended learning time during the school day and in the summer, and high school support with an emphasis on providing quality education to historically under-resourced communities.

Today, Hope Partnership for Education is a trusted education center that offers small class sizes and after-school enrichment for middle school students, working in collaboration with other organizations in the Fairhill-Hartranft neighborhood in service to the community.
