More About Our Beliefs
Icon of the cross

Christ-Centered

We love Jesus. He is the center of who we are, why we educate, and what we teach. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. We bind this truth on the hearts and hands of the children.

Constructivism

Learning is an active and constructive process. Constructivist education emphasizes hands-on involvement, critical thinking, problem solving and innovative collaboration.

Collaboration

Believing that parents are the first and foremost teachers of their children, we work “hand-in-hand” with parents in a unique fashion as we partner in the education of the child.

2 School Options

3-Day Homeschool Academy

Our 3-day Homeschool Academy blends homeschooling and Montessori classroom learning, providing families with the best of both educational worlds! 

Students attend our Christian Montessori Academy 3 days a week and are homeschooled the other 2 days. The Homeschool Academy also includes a long Christmas or Winter break and shorter school year, ending in May.

Our Homeschool Academy is a great option if you want to homeschool, but desire more support, or crave more community. 

5-Day Private Academy

Our full-time Private Academy provides students with a Montessori education, solid Christian foundation, and community. 

Using Montessori materials and constructivist practices, students study faith, math, language arts, cultural studies, fine arts, and practical life. Our small class sizes, supportive teachers, hands-on Montessori methods, and Christian environment provides students with the ideal setting to learn and grow! 

Our Private Academy option is perfect for families looking for a unique, Christian Montessori education with a traditional school calendar year.

Parent Testimonials

  • “Finding HIH was an answered prayer.

    We had watched our children grow in other Montessori schools for over 4 years, and seeing the results, we were sold on the Montessori method of learning. But it was difficult to find a Montessori school of this caliber that also provided a Christian foundation and offered classes to children through the Jr. High years. Finding HIH was an answered prayer.”

  • “Every child has an individualized education plan.

    What I love about Hand In Hand is that each child develops their strengths and learns at their own pace. Essentially, every child has an individualized education plan, not just those with special needs. As a result, each child’s learning experience is unique and occurs on their timetable.”

  • “They use materials that make abstract concepts more concrete.

    What our children learn in Montessori is more of a deep understanding. For example, instead of just memorizing what the answer is to 3 times 3, they learn what is happening in the problem because they use materials that make abstract concepts more concrete. This works much better than just memorizing the answers or doing numerous worksheets or long hours of homework. This level of deep understanding also carries them much farther and they are able to handle more complex problems later on.”

  • “It’s truly amazing to watch the children rise to the challenge when they are trusted to take some ownership of their learning each day.

    They do not wish to get a “hall pass” so they can skip out on class for a few minutes. Instead, they are eager to get to school and eager to learn. And learn they do! My children are testing years beyond their peers in both the public and private schools in the state. But most importantly, they are learning to LOVE learning and to LOVE the Lord with all their heart, mind and soul. We are so grateful to be part of HIH.”

Our Mission
