Mixed Grades

Two students working on the floor with Montessori materials.

We Are Four Levels of Mixed-Grade Classrooms

Pre-elementary:

7 Classrooms, each filled with students in Grades P3-Kindergarten
 

Lower Elementary:

5 Classrooms, each filled with students in Grades 1-3
 

Upper Elementary:

3 Classrooms, each filled with students in Grades 4-5|
 

Middle School:

3 Homerooms (Grades 6, 7, and 8)
Subject specific classes with students in Grades 6-8 mixing throughout the day 
 

In these carefully designed mix-grade classrooms, we help students build skills and confidence throughout their journey.

We Are Community

Montessori philosophy revolves around nurturing and cultivating community and collaboration. In our mixed-grade classrooms, students learn with and from one another, which mirrors the way people interact in the world around them.

  • Younger students benefit from the guidance of older peers.
     
  • Older students learn that their younger peers have strengths to share as well.

This exchange deepens understanding, fosters responsibility, and allows every student to take pride in contributing to the group. The result is a nurturing environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow—both as learners and as members of a thriving community.

We Are Compassionate Learners and Leaders

 

At Eton, learning happens side by side in mixed-grade classrooms where older and younger students inspire, guide, and learn from one another. Every moment—a helping hand, a shared idea, a kind gesture—builds confidence and community. Through these connections, students discover that leadership isn’t about age or grade, but about empathy, courage, and collaboration. Here, learning and leadership grow together.
