Kindergarten and 1st Grade

Our mixed-age Kindergarten and First Grade classroom is designed to nurture growth, independence, and strong peer relationships. By learning together, students benefit from a community where older children model leadership and younger learners gain confidence through supported exploration. This approach allows each child to progress at their own pace while still engaging in rich, standards-based instruction.

Mixed-age early elementary classrooms are shown to promote deeper understanding, collaboration, and flexibility in learning. Children build empathy, communication skills, and resilience as they work with peers of different ages and abilities. This environment supports academic success while fostering a warm, family-like atmosphere that helps every child thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
