Hancock/Hamline University Collaborative Magnet School believes the path to college begins in kindergarten. Each grade level, paired with a different Hamline University department, ensures elementary students a variety of university experiences. In addition, Hancock students benefit from help provided by Hand-in Hand mentors, America Reads and America Counts tutors, student teachers, and guest speakers.

Hancock students have access to the Hamline library, swimming pool, theatre and more. Students and educators at both schools build relationships and attend special events. Hancock is proud of its large collection of books and emphasis on student reading, writing, and math.
