“Hope Technology Group”

“Erudite Technology Group, Inc. dba Hope Technology Group ETG was organized to give the disadvantaged and needy access to technology. In the 21st Century, access to and an understanding of technology will be critical for everyone in our society. However, many disadvantaged and needy children and adults do not have access to technology. ETG wants to help narrow this technology gap. To accomplish this, ETG opened a private school with the mission of providing an exceptional learning experience for typical and special needs children in a full-inclusion, technology rich environment. The full inclusion program will be composed of highly qualified teachers and therapists, who together with parents create the perfect team for each childs development. The small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios benefit our students by providing individualized and small group instruction. We will work to identify and build on each childs strengths and help children overcome their weaknesses. Our goal and ambition is to allow each student to become a successful part of the community.”
