Elementary
Welcome to Our Elementary School Program
This academic program is meticulously crafted for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, offering a robust curriculum that surpasses state educational standards. We prioritize academic excellence through a curriculum designed to challenge students while fostering intellectual growth. Our commitment to individualized learning is reflected in our intentionally low teacher-to-student ratio, which facilitates ongoing assessment and customization of teaching strategies to accommodate the diverse cognitive and developmental needs of our students. For those who are gifted or require additional support, our student services team ensures tailored interventions to maximize each child’s potential. Nationally, our students consistently rank in the top 15% for reading, language, and math assessments. Beyond the core academic subjects, our students engage in a rich variety of specialized classes, including music, art, physical education, and computer science, further enhancing their holistic development.
We are licensed by the department of early education & care (EEC).
Curriculum Policy
It is our belief that all truth is God’s truth. Thus, the Christian makes no distinction between the truth of the sacred and secular. Truth is part of the very nature of God; indeed, the Lord Jesus said, “I am the truth . . .” (John 14:6). So, in our selection of textbooks, we are looking for the most appropriate for our school, whether they be sacred or secular.
We see the role of the teacher to be the primary source of integrating faith and learning through: Devotions and Bible class, teachable moments, planned additions to the curriculum.
Standards for MHCS. Curriculum:
- That the language and content be supportive of the Christian faith.
- That the academic quality of the curriculum be superior.
