Montessori Children's House of Peoria is combining two different aged classes for a unique classroom experience.
Students from 6 to 9 and 9 to 12 years old are now in the same class.
"The benefit of enlarging the group is that students have child to child teaching opportunities" says John Cox, Head of School.
Cox says children in that age group tend to learn the same way and letting the older students teach the younger ones will be beneficial to both.
The different classes were separated by classrooms but after recent construction, the classrooms are now connected.
Cox says both students and teachers are enjoying the changes but the students are enjoying it more because they get to interact with their fellow classmates.
