Advanced Sacred Hope Academy Expands to New Campus in FWB to Serve Growing Autistic Student Population
School Launches Sponsorship Opportunities to Equip New Classrooms and Build Sensory-Friendly Playground
Advanced Sacred Hope Academy (ASHA), an Okaloosa County private school for autistic children has expanded into a larger, state-of-the-art facility at 106 Racetrack Rd. NE, Fort Walton Beach, marking a transformative leap from its modest start of just seven students in 2018 to 75 students registered for the 2025-2026 school year.
This growth reflects both the increasing demand for specialized education tailored to the unique learning profiles of neurodiverse children and ASHA’s proven success in preparing students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The new campus is designed with these needs in mind, featuring adaptive classrooms, dedicated therapy spaces, and plans for an inclusive, sensory-friendly playground.
“As we move into this next chapter, we are building more than a school. We are creating a comprehensive environment where our students can grow, learn, and develop skills that prepare them for meaningful engagement in their families, communities, and future workplaces,” said Robert Hruska, Director of Operations at ASHA. “But we can’t do it alone. Community support has been the backbone of our journey from the very beginning.”
To help bring this vision to full realization, ASHA is seeking Classroom Sponsors and Playground Sponsors to partner in creating spaces that foster growth, exploration, and confidence in autistic students. Sponsorship opportunities provide local businesses, civic groups, and individuals a meaningful way to invest in education, inclusion, and the future of children in our region.
Sponsorship benefits include naming rights, permanent recognition on campus, and visibility in ASHA’s ongoing community outreach and events.
