Areas of Learning
Faith Formation
Jesus is the center of everything we do. Students learn God’s Word while developing a personal relationship with Christ that shapes every area of life.
Mathematics
Montessori math materials give children hands-on ways to understand abstract concepts helping children explore mathematical concepts, operations, and complex functions.
Practical Life
Practical Life connects children with their interests in the outside world, builds responsibility, helps them organize their time, and prepares them to participate in their community.
Language Arts
Montessori language materials and projects help students master grammar, writing conventions, spelling, reading, and presentation skills.
Cultural Studies
Children explore geography, history, biology, botany, geology, and physical and life sciences.
Fine Arts
Music, dance, literature, and art give children rich opportunities for meaningful expression.
What Makes Hand in Hand Elementary Unique?
The Atrium
A dedicated spiritual environment where children encounter the person of Jesus and the truths of Scripture through hands-on, Montessori-inspired religious materials — not just a Bible lesson, but a place to wonder, worship, and grow in faith.
Multi-Age Learning Classrooms
Children in grades 1-3 (Elementary 1) and grades 4-6 (Elementary 2) learn side by side in the same classroom, giving younger students mentors to look up to and older students real opportunities to lead, teach, and reinforce their own understanding.
Uninterrupted Work Periods
Uninterrupted blocks of work time each day let children follow their curiosity, complete meaningful projects, and develop deep focus and self-direction — skills that carry far beyond the classroom.
Real Responsibility
From caring for the classroom environment to managing their own project timelines, elementary students practice the kind of independence and self-advocacy that prepares them for junior high, high school, and life.
