One of the most special things about our school is the multi-grade classroom environment, where students of different ages learn and grow together. A multi-grade setting offers a powerful advantage: students learn to interact with peers of differing ages, become more self-directed learners, and teachers tailor instruction to meet the diverse needs of each student.
