Since that time, we have received considerable positive feedback from both staff and parents. Anecdotal evidence from other schools who have used this approach over a longer period of time supports our experiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a. Students always have someone else who can work at their level<br>b. Behaviour is automatically set to a higher standard in combination classes due to the added maturity levels.<br>c. Exposure to varying levels of learning raises overall performance<br>d. Students learn socialization skills that are otherwise absent<br>e. Anxiety is reduced and confidence increased in students. Older students are respected as mentors who adopt the teacher\u2019s behaviours with the younger students.<br>f. Students gain greater tolerance for each other \u2013 greater acceptance of different rates of learning<br>g. Students assume greater ownership of their learning process<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_c211a1-a1{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_c211a1-a1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_c211a1-a1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large image_overlay\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stccs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/low-res211008GT7047-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"SCCS students on carpet\" class=\"wp-image-1616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stccs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/low-res211008GT7047-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stccs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/low-res211008GT7047-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stccs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/low-res211008GT7047-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stccs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/low-res211008GT7047-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stccs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/low-res211008GT7047-2048x1363.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What do we do at SCCS to ensure that the multi-age classroom is a good fit for our school?
