LOGAN Hope is a Christ-centered K-8 school that provides rigorous, holistic education for under-resourced students in the Logan neighborhood of Philadelphia. The idea for LOGAN Hope was originally born out of seeing the needs of a community of refugees who had escaped the genocide of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. This idea has grown into our current commitment to helping individuals and families who struggle daily with the effects of poverty, seeking to transform our community by equipping our students for academic success and a life of servant leadership through rigorous academics, and Christian discipleship.
