Our relationship with Dr. Paul Kim, Assistant Dean & Chief Technology Officer of Stanford’s Graduate School of Education has led to the blending of the Stanford Mobile Inquiry-based Learning Environment (SMILE) into the curriculum of Hope Academy.

Our relationship with Dr. Manu Prakash, Assistant Professor in Stanford’s Department of Bioengineering has led to building curiosity and excitement of scientific exploration among our students.

The Quest Foundation has generously funded numerous initiatives for elevating the quality of education at Hope Academy. These initiatives have included SMILE, SMILE Pi mini-servers, laptops, Chromebooks, Janyaa hands-on science, musical instruments, ESL materials, Foldscopes and more.

These innovative educational tools and the life-changing experiences that result from them are only possible because of Quest Foundation’s grants. The leaders, teachers and students of Hope Academy express their deepest appreciation.

DP’s vision is that all people at every stage of their lives have access to learning experiences that help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to thrive and continuously learn in an ever-changing world.

To achieve this vision, we must work together to close the digital learning gap. Because when all learners have equitable access to learning technology, when everyone participates, and when everyone learns, we all benefit from a more engaged, informed and just society.

DP has helped Hope Academy address learner variability. It has also helped us by connecting us with top resources in math education (at Stanford) and English Language Learning (at Columbia University).
