Introducing HOPE Online at Launch Academy: A Second Chance to Graduate, Designed Around You
[Englewood, CO – August 2025] — HOPE Online Learning Academy Co-Op is proud to introduce HOPE Online at Launch Academy, a new statewide program designed for Colorado students who are behind on credits or seeking a more flexible, supportive path to high school graduation.
Launch Academy is a fully online, tuition-free program for Colorado residents, designed specifically for students who have fallen behind on credits or feel that graduation is out of reach. It also serves those who may feel disconnected from traditional school settings or need a more flexible path to succeed. Whether students are returning after time away, balancing work or caregiving responsibilities, or simply looking for a learning environment that fits their unique needs, Launch Academy provides the structure, support, and encouragement to help them get back on track and move confidently toward graduation.
“We know that life doesn’t always follow a straight path,” said Heather O'Mara, CEO of HOPE Online Learning Academy Co-Op. “Launch Academy exists to remind students that it’s not too late. With the right support system, graduation is still within reach.”

A School That Understands Life Outside the Classroom
What makes HOPE Online at Launch Academy different is its deep understanding of what students and families are navigating. For some, the flexibility of online learning is essential.
