Class Groupings
Our aim is to place each child in a stimulating and challenging class that provides the best opportunities to make academic and social progress.
Our classes have an impressively low student-teacher ratio of roughly 10:1. At ISD there are four, multi-grade level classes grouped as:
- Kindergarten – Ages 3.5, 4, 5, 6
- Grades 1,2 – Ages 6, 7, 8
- Grades 3,4 – Ages 8, 9, 10
- Grades 5,6 – Ages 10, 11, 12
Below, please see placement dates for each grade level. In cases where the school, along with parents/guardians, believe a certain placement should be reviewed in the best interest of a child, ISD retains flexibility in relation to class placement.
