Jr. & Sr. High (grades 7-12)

CREO means “to create an original” in Latin. Hand In Hand offers a unique opportunity for adolescents to continue their learning journey through a Christian Montessori approach in CREO, our 7th – 12th-grade program. In CREO, the Montessori pedagogical principles are applied within the context of the important developmental planes of early and late adolescence. As a Christ-centered discipleship program, we continue to partner closely with families as the adolescent takes a more prominent role in their growth and social development.

3-Day Homeschool Academy

This option is for homeschool families that also want deep engagement from teachers who are passionate about their discipline and a positive social learning environment. Through classes, workshops, going-outs, and self-directed projects CREO students will engage in integrated core classes of Christian Faith, Math, Science, History, and Language.

*An additional Arts or Occupations specialist day may be added, creating a 4-day program.

Private 5-Day Academy

This option includes all core subjects, as well as two additional days:

Creative and Classical: Development in Music and Drama, Visual Arts, Foreign Language, Logic, and Linguistics.

Careers and Community: Development through career exploration, work study, and running a student business. Students also have Health and Recreation courses. Students participate in care and development of our learning environment through hands on design projects and care of the outdoor environment.

PSEO

For 11th and 12th-grade students, CREO partners with Crown College to offer on-site dual enrollment classes that are integrated with our high school curriculum. PSEO students can also take additional online college courses in their area of interest and utilize our teacher-supported PSEO study café.
