The Benefits of a Multi-Grade Classroom

While most people today are used to one grade per classroom, Christ Lutheran Academy is a multi-grade classroom for grades 1-8 that utilizes additional instructors as needs arise.  There are many advantages to a multi-grade classroom spiritually, academically, and socially:

  • In a multi-grade classroom children are always able to review what they have covered before and work ahead if they are able.
  • It lends itself very easily to individual instruction.
  • Children are able to find mentors and friends in older grades who will help them in many ways.  Older students learn patience and helping skills.
  • It better reflects the style of learning in the world, where it is very rare to be in an environment where all of the people are of the same age and educational background.
