AmFaith online Christian school and the Hope Scholarship

AmFaith (American Faith Academy) offers classical Christian K-12 programs online. Here is how a nonpublic online program like it relates to West Virginia's Hope Scholarship, and what a Charleston-area family should confirm first.

Quick answer

AmFaith is an online classical Christian K-12 program. West Virginia's Hope Scholarship, worth $5,435.62 for a full 2026-27 year, allows tuition for nonpublic online learning programs, so Charleston-area families considering AmFaith should first confirm that it is an approved provider in the Hope portal.

What AmFaith is

AmFaith describes itself as a classical Christian K-12 school taught online, built on the grammar, logic and rhetoric stages. Its website lists programs and monthly pricing; prices change, so check them with AmFaith directly rather than relying on any figure here.

How online programs fit Hope

The Hope Scholarship Parent Handbook lists tuition and fees for nonpublic online learning programs as qualifying expenses, and a student learning through an online program follows the IIP pathway. Hope money is paid only to providers approved in the portal, so a family should confirm with AmFaith and in the Hope directory that AmFaith is approved before enrolling. We did not find AmFaith in the directory files we reviewed in October 2026.

Who might weigh an option like this

Families in Boone, Lincoln and Clay counties, where the nearest private school can be a long drive, and Kanawha Valley families who want a faith-based curriculum at home often look at online programs. The trade-off is that a parent supervises the day, and the family handles yearly academic reporting by June 8.

Our relationship

AmFaith does not pay us, and this page is not an endorsement. We describe it because Kanawha Valley families ask about online Christian options that Hope might cover. No scholarship or discount from us is offered or promised.

Common questions

Can West Virginia Hope Scholarship money pay for an online Christian school like AmFaith?

The Hope Scholarship Parent Handbook allows tuition and fees for nonpublic online learning programs, so an online Christian school can qualify. Hope money is paid only to approved providers in the Hope portal, so a West Virginia family should confirm that AmFaith is approved before enrolling. We did not find AmFaith in the Hope directory files we reviewed in October 2026.

Is a child in an online program a Hope IIP student in West Virginia?

Yes. A West Virginia child learning at home through an online program is a Hope Scholarship Individualized Instructional Plan student, not a participating-school student. The family files a Hope Notice of Intent marked IIP with the county superintendent and submits yearly academic progress, either test results or a certified teacher's portfolio review, by June 8.
