Building on the continuing self-construction of the child – daily, weekly, yearly – for the duration of the educational experience.
Each of our classrooms have multi age groupings that foster peer learning, uninterrupted blocks of work time, and guided choice of work activity. Multi age groupings are a hallmark of Arka Montessori Of Van Alstyne Method: younger children learn from older children; older children reinforce their learning by teaching concepts they have already mastered. This arrangement also mirrors the real world, where individuals work and socialize with people of all ages and dispositions.
