“The mission of Hope Rural School in Indiantown, Florida is to offer HOPE to families. Hope Rural School primarily serves children from immigrant families by providing them with a Catholic Elementary education in grades Prek3 through Grade 5 in an environment that nurtures the gospel values. Our student population is comprised of the following- 88% Guatemalan/Mexican, 10% Haitian, and 2% Caucasian.
We are grateful to the Queally Foundation Inc. for their support of our children who attend Hope Rural Elementary School. The Queally Foundation Inc. has generosity provided the funding for our Afterschool and Summer School programs. These programs help us prepare our children to reach their full potential because we focus especially on the academic skills of reading literacy and math. We have witnessed a difference in academic growth in both of these areas because of the ability of our teachers to have this quality time to reinforce the skills needed for each child to reach their full potential.
The Queally Foundation Inc. believes in our vision and mission. Their support and faith in what we do each day at Hope Rural continues to help us claim and embrace God’s mission to be our mission. The late Archbishop of Recife, Brazil used to say, “When we dream alone, it is only a dream, when we dream with others, it is the beginning of reality.” It has been a remarkable gift to dream with the Queally Foundation Inc.”
