Multi-Age Grouping
At PS1, eight of our nine classes bring together students from two consecutive grade levels: K–1, 2, 3–4, and 5–6, so children experience a dynamic and evolving peer community each year. This structure gives every child the chance to be both a leader and a learner throughout their school journey, building essential skills in adaptability, empathy, and collaboration.
By learning alongside peers of different ages, students develop strong connections and social agility, lifelong skills that help them thrive in a variety of environments. Families often tell us, year after year and now generation after generation, that this two-grade span was the key to raising well-rounded, confident, articulate, and resilient young people.
