New Hope Christian Academy has been serving Circleville, Ohio and Pickaway County for over 30 years. The school describes itself as a Christ-centered principled leadership school that teaches students to deny self, know God, grow in Christ, and go and make disciples. Its mission states that the love of Christ is the foundation of the school and that intentional discipleship is a core focus from the Early Learning Center through 12th grade. The mission also states that the school seeks to be set apart for Christ and His Kingdom in spiritual growth, academic excellence, and student life, and that it holds a core belief that people are made for community marked by connection, relationship, equipping, encouraging, sharpening, and pointing others to Christ. The mission further states that the school pursues a place where there is a constant vision of hope, new life in Christ, and unity. Recent achievements include becoming a State STEM equivalent designated school. New Hope has partnered academically with Ohio Christian University since the expansion of its high school. The Head of School is Dr. Jeff Mudrow.
