Our K-3 Multi-age classroom, Learning Through Literature, uses books as a springboard to all curricular areas such as science, social studies, art, and math. Students will read or listen to quality literature that teaches grammar, reading, spelling, vocabulary, writing mechanics, creative writing, thinking skills, content knowledge and more. We believe that teaching in this way makes reading a joy and provides a foundation for a lifetime love of learning.

Multi-age educational practices are grounded in the philosophy that every child can learn and has the right to do so at their own pace, learning is a continuum rather than a series of steps, diversity is to be embraced, and a classroom is a family of learners. By purposefully structuring a class to include a span of ages, students naturally become more accepting of one another's differences. This K-3 structure creates an atmosphere of nurturing rather than one of competition. The teacher finds himself or herself supporting each individual child and their own complex set of needs rather than trying to lead a group of students to complete an age-based step.
