Composite Classes

Many families are starting to wonder and are anticipating the news of class placement for 2026. 

This year we have fewer composite classes compared to 2025 but still have four classes which have split year levels. 

The class placement process has many different factors that we take into consideration. Many people assume that our choice is based on academic achievement which is only one factor we take into consideration. The staff look at the entire child when deciding which class would be in their best interests. This includes friendships, staff relationships, number of years with teachers, social and emotional development as well as academic achievement. Students who are in composite classes are provided with the same opportunity for intellectual stretch through differentiated classroom instruction, whether they are the lower or higher year level in that class. 

Some families also make requests for their child. Although we try to accommodate these requests, we are unable to guarantee these can happen as we have many factors to also consider. This process takes a long period of time with many considerations that we need to make to best support each child. 

We look forward to letting students know their classes for 2026 and meeting their teachers.
