Philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff once observed that to do justice to any tradition, one should understand how it interprets its vision, how it expresses that vision, and the relevant highlights of its narrative.

Using these criteria, Education for Hope seeks to do justice to the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition of alternative education
