What Families Are Saying
About CREO Junior and Senior High
We love the teachers and how they put a large emphasis on disciplining my children spiritually and mentoring them through their academics.
– Amy (Parent)
The Montessori Educational model is superior in that it fosters creativity, critical thinking, and confidence.
– Christopher (Parent)
One of the biggest strengths is the community – Godly influence and teaching.
– Joelle (Parent)
Hand in Hand has been a great experience for me my entire life. The school culture is amazing the way everyone lifts each other up. The teachers are very nice and understanding when things come up. For a small school there are all sorts of opportunities for sports and extra curricular activities which is awesome.
– HIHCM Student
I’ve been going to Hand in Hand all of my life, and I intend to graduate from this school. The culture is where this school shines, the school is focused on the pursuit of the “wholeness of the child” through Christian Montessori education. I highly recommend.
– HIHCM Student
I am a senior at Hand in Hand Christian Montessori in Roseville, and this will be my 12th year as a student. Hand In Hand is known for integrating hands on learning and supporting spiritual growth. Teachers are advocates for growth mindset, positive self-talk and self/group reflection. They handle hard topics with a Christ centered view, making a very safe and vulnerable atmosphere for students to feel seen, heard and loved.
