Facilities Manager - New Hope Academy Franklin, TN

New Hope Academy

New Hope Academy is a pioneering school that brings together a love for Christ Jesus with a promise of excellent Christ centered education. We have a committed focus on whole-child development through caring academic mentoring along with a vision for connected community where students and families form meaningful relationships across economic, racial, and cultural differences. We feel this provides a foundation to begin the process of combating the roots of inequality, race-based separation, and class-oriented isolation. All of this to the glorification of our Lord and Savior!

New Hope Academy intentionally reserves 40 to 50% of all classroom seats for students from low-income households. We teach from a Biblical foundation while fundamentally equipping each student with tools for gaining knowledge and understanding. We believe in community and that God calls us to love, fellowship, and help one another for His glory. It is because of this that we are committed to finding the resources necessary to allow the mission to thrive. New Hope Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
