Which Program Placement is Right for Your Child?

At Roseville Community School, we don’t place children in traditional “grades.” Instead, we take a more holistic approach—looking at the child as a whole, considering social, emotional, and developmental readiness.

Here’s a general guide to how our multi-age programs align with traditional grade levels:

• Younger Program – Typically includes children in Kindergarten and 1st grade

• Younger Middle/Middle Program– Roughly equivalent to 1st/2nd grade and 2nd/3rd grade, respectively

• Upper Program – Usually 4th through 5th grade

We intentionally overlap between programs. The goal is to place children in cohorts where they’ll thrive—alongside peers with similar social/emotional development and readiness to participate in our community-centered learning environment.

For help determining the best fit for your child, we invite you to discuss placement during your tour. We’re here to help you find the environment where your child will feel known, supported, and inspired to grow.
