In our Upper Primary are students who are seven, eight, and nine years old. In our Intermediate class are students nine, ten and eleven. W e do not separate students by grade level for instruction. We diagnose each students reading and math levels and teach to students' individual needs. Students are not limited by grade level curriculum, but progress as far as they are able.
Performance is judged by developmental level rather than grade level.
Every student is expected to work at their full capacity. I n the multiage program we are developing a sense of community and family. Many times throughout the month students from all three classrooms join together in three neighborhood groups to do a variety of learning activities. Students say they like interacting with children of different ages. F amilies are an essential part of our program.
