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.”

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!

Similar to a homeschool co-op, students attend our Christian Montessori Academy 3 days a week and are homeschooled the other 2 days. Our program also includes a long J-term break and shorter school year (the last day of school is in May).

Our homeschool academy is a great option if you have been wanting to try homeschooling, but desire more support, or you have been homeschooling and are craving 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!

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