• Every day, students of different ages are given opportunities to work together side-by- side and learn from one another what it means to step up academically and socially.
• Students are in the same classroom for two years so teachers get to know them deeply, in a way that is not possible when students pass through a classroom in just one year. This allows for greater academic and social/emotional gains.
• Students who gravitate socially or academically above or below their grade level are surrounded by like students and can stretch in either direction comfortably.
• Students form friendships with children in their grade as well as in the grades above and below. In this way, students quickly get to know everyone in the school.
• “Only children” get to experience the pros and cons of having siblings.
