Cohorts

Indi-ED students are aligned in groups of approximately 12-14 students per teacher based on academic, developmental, and social readiness. Age alone is not our deciding factor. Our process to establish our cohorts involves interest surveys, parent input, discussions, observations, assessments, and more to determine a good fit.

We eliminate the mentality that “all 9 year olds must ‘x’ on the exact same day and in the same manner,” and encourage the mixed aged cohorts to continue facilitating our philosophy of diverse partnerships and interactions to encourage genuine progress.

Our cohorts are flexible and will have many experiences that overlap so that an appropriate variety of ages and skill levels will be able to practice our leadership values and to deepen understanding of content. Ideally, cohorts remain intact over multiple years to deepen established and trusted relationships while building upon learning and shared experiences.
