The Hope Center Arts Academy (HCAA) exists as a ministry of the Hope Center and provides quality arts instruction and social/life skills assistance to meet the challenges of families in northern New Jersey , the location of the state’s two urban municipalities. The HCAA was founded on the premise that without real-time solutions to the struggles of urban Americans, no amount of programming will make a difference. The HCAA is in the business of changing lives, one student at a time. To that end, the HCAA will not turn away any student who displays the desire and commitment to study and cannot afford the tuition.
