12 New classrooms added
Based on current and future enrollment it become a concern that the existing classrooms were inadequate in size and in very poor condition. The teachers could teach 2 to 3 times more students without adding more to cost than the price of lunch and some supplies, if they had the room. The picture below shows the tiny classroom which as you can see was bursting at the seam along with it's deteriorating condition.
In 2015 doors seemed to be opening to start construction for these new classrooms. Going over the initial plan we determined that since land is very expensive it was cheaper to go up instead of trying to purchase land for future classrooms. Thus, the school was laid with a foundation strong enough capacity for four stories but currently we thought only starting with two stories at this time. In the Fall of 2016 construction started and it was a blessing to see the Lord's fruition come to pass. Below is photo of the school upon completion of construction.
By January of 2018 the two story school was complete and our dedication service was held on January 28, 2018. Thank you to all who prayed, donated and helped out in during this blessed expansion at Pleasant Hope Academy! Below you will see the new classrooms in use and how it as greatly benefited each and every student. The reason we have stated 12 classrooms and you only see 6 in the photo is since our classes are currently small, we are able to put up a temporary wall until our classes grow and we can go up two more stories.
