In addition, Rock Foundation Early Learning Academy teaches a mixed-age curriculum that facilities peer learning and communal growth. In a mixed-age classroom like at Rock Foundation Early Learning Academy, students receive open-ended, stimulating activities and are encouraged to move at their own pace.

Mixed-age learning replicates the best of a family or neighborhood group structure as children socialize with peers a little ahead or a little behind their own development path.
