Redeemer School is now offering Multi age classroom Programs at our school. Redeemer has consolidated classes by grouping students according to ability level rather than just grade level. The fluidity to progress at individual academic levels within each subject rather than grade levels are
expected to bring the favorable results evidenced in the past year’s
achievement tests. For example, when a group of fourth graders have met the fourth-grade standards (as set forth in the New
Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards), they are moved to the next
level in that content area. Similarly, students who struggle in an area work
within peer groups for mastery. A certified teacher and a classroom assistant monitor groups. Generally, the staff:student ratio is 1:6.
Mixed–age group interaction elicits specific pro-social behaviors such
as helping, sharing, and taking turns.
These are traits of emotional intelligence, essential for becoming a
healthy and responsible adult.
