1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Students who gravitate socially or academically above or below their grade level are surrounded by like students and can stretch in either direction comfortably.
4. 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.
5. “Only children” get to experience the pros and cons of having siblings.
