Hampden Christian School is a magnificent, small school that places a big emphasis on community (within the classroom, school, and Baltimore City as a whole). The class sizes are small, the teachers are creative and innovative, and the curriculum is engaging. The children have outdoor recess several times daily, year-round. My 3rd grade son has been a student at HCS since pre-K and my daughter entered kindergarten this year after attending HCS since she was 4 months old. The teachers work very well together and model teamwork and kindness. Through the support and creativity of HCS’ staff my children have developed a love for learning, as well as confidence in the classroom.

My kids have been extremely fortunate to go to Hampden Christian for elementary. They enjoy small class sizes, nurturing teachers, an appreciation of physical play and a clear emphasis on building character over status. Not to mention how affordable it is. I really can't recommend it highly enough.

We have had and continue to have a truly wonderful experience at this school. The support of the teachers and staff is second to none! My son absolutely loves going to school and the well balanced curriculum at HCS has really fostered his love of learning.

During the pandemic, we struggled to help teach our Kindergarten and 1st grade girls to read while juggling our day jobs. We applied to Hampden Christian because of its small class sizes, values-oriented curriculum, passionate focus on reading, and its emphasis on in-person learning. The past year at HCS has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our kids are happy and fully engaged at school again. They are not only able to read, but now have a love of reading that we hope will last a lifetime.

When I shared my concern with Mr. Hershberger about the cost of tuition for sending my two children to Hampden Christian School, he urged me to apply for financial aid. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of aid awarded, and am looking forward to sending my children to HCS this fall. I have been a patron off and on since 2011 and have no plans to send my children anywhere else.
