At HMS we practice a whole-child approach to nurturing a child’s interest in learning and meeting needs. Learning is Christ-centered and child-focused. Each educational level including our Early Childhood, Primary, Intermediate, Middle School and High School programs are specially designed to spark curiosity, creativity and an understanding of Christian discipleship in a way that is developmentally appropriate. Teachers take time to listen to and value student contributions and students really enjoy coming to school! We strive to support and challenge so that students grow to their potential in a nurturing environment.
