Hooper Academy is open and practicing social distancing due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Early Learning Center is now open.
Even though students did not return to our campus for the 2019-2020 school year, school remained in session and remote learning was implemented. Our teachers remain dedicated to continuing to provide a quality education for each child. Plans are being finalized for the 2020-2021 school year should the need for remote learning become necessary.
Please monitor our email communications and social media channels for updates.
