Chosen on purpose, over the default
The school opened with a single mixed-age primary room and grew, one three-year cycle at a time, into a primary and a lower elementary program under the same roof. We did not expand by adding single-age classrooms, because that would have undone the exact structure the method depends on.
Every guide here is trained and credentialed through AMI or AMS, and continues coursework after they are hired, not only before. We would rather run one classroom well than open a second before we have a guide ready to hold it properly.
We ask families to enroll for the full three-year cycle rather than year to year, because leaving partway through wastes exactly the arc the classroom is built around. That commitment is a real ask, and we would rather you understand it before your child’s first morning than discover it later.
