Elementary Education
The Multiage Class
The Multiage class promotes cross-age learning over a four year period. The classroom has a flexible grouping scheme that is based upon the ability of each individual child. Each child demonstrates respect for the individual learner in an environment focused on success and developmentally appropriate activities. The classroom is arranged in a way that allows children to actively engage in the environmental through centres, projects, and a variety of learning experiences with their peers. We aim to create a community of learners that supports and nurtures each other.
The Multiage classroom reflects purpose, activity, sharing, caring, and learning where children look to each other and not just to the teacher for learning opportunities.
The Primary Class
In the Primary class the emphasis begins to change slightly as the child is introduced to testing and attention begins to shift to focus on the various areas that the student will need to be proficient in, in order to pass on to Secondary School. They maintain working in an interactive classroom setting but the focus shifts slightly to encourage further study skills which will direct students at becoming more independent in their academic work, whilst still working in collaborative groups for specific portions of the day.
At Ciboney Centre for Excellence, we wish to help your child become a well-rounded, caring, and respectful person. In order to achieve this goal we implement daily routines and regulations that may guide each child towards reaching his/her fullest potential.
