Advantages of a Multi-Age Classroom
Individualized Care
Children are viewed as unique individuals. The teacher focuses on teaching each child according to his or her own strengths.
Paced Learning
Children are not labeled according to their ability, and children learn at their own rate.
Future Leaders
Older children have the opportunity to serve as mentors and to take on leadership roles.
A Family of Learners
Children develop a sense of family with their classmates. They become a “family of learners” who support and care for each other.
Cooperative Learning
Children are more likely to cooperate than compete. The spirit of cooperation, kindness, and caring makes it possible for children to help each other as individuals not just view each other as competitors.
Class begins at 8:00am and dismissal is at 3:00pm, Monday through Friday. Children may enter their classroom as early as 7:40am.
