Possessing a Tampa, Florida, campus that spans more than 50 acres, Hope Children's Home seeks to foster the academic, emotional, and spiritual growth of children who have been abused, neglected, or orphaned. During an appearance on Bay Focus, a Christian Television Network show, Hope Children’s Home's executive director Mike Higgins detailed his organization’s commitment to education. Beyond providing dorms for boys and girls, as well as cottages for siblings and young children, the campus offers a small school. As Dr. Higgins describes it, education is a vitally important part of Hope Children’s Home’s goals. This begins with sharing the Lord Jesus Christ with young minds in ways that encourage the development of a personal relationship with God. Dr. Higgins emphasized that this spiritual foundation arises and takes root from the inside, with academics building on this to prepare children for a successful future in college and beyond. Another aspect of life on campus is the joyful atmosphere: laughing, playing, riding bikes, and engaging in positive activities that enable children to become balanced and well-rounded individuals. Visitors who experience the campus for the first time often describe the feeling that they are in a “summer camp” environment.
