NCCL is comprised of four multi-age homeroom groups. Group 1 is comparable to 1st and 2nd grades; Group 2 to 3rd and 4th grades; Group 3 to 5th and 6th grades; Group 4 to 7th and 8th grades. Each group has a 2 - 3 year age span. There is overlap age-wise and academically between the groups so children can be placed appropriately academically, socially and emotionally. Each homeroom group has about 22 - 24 children and 2 full-time teachers who work with them. The homeroom group is divided into smaller groups for classes so there are usually 10 -12 children in a class group. Some activities, such as science, social studies, etc., have all of the children and both teachers working together. This arrangement enables us to have small academic classes but still gives the children a large enough social group to foster social development.
