At Rivendell School most of our classes are organized using a Form system. Small, multi-age classes give teachers greater flexibility to nurture children at different ability levels and allow students to progress at varying speeds in particular skills. Kindergarten and First Grade are each a self-contained, single grade class, although they study the same units and may engage in cooperative activities. Students in Grades 2-3, 4-5, and 7-8 are placed in Forms that incorporate two traditional grade levels.
Classes at Rivendell are organized as follows:
Form 1 Kindergarten and Grade 1 (separate classrooms)
Form 2 Grades 2 and 3 (mixed-grade classes)
Form 3 Grades 4 and 5 (mixed-grade classes)
Grade 6 Grade 6 (single classroom)
Form 4 Grades 7 and 8 (mixed-grade classes)
