PEAP is a multi-age  learning community that focuses on relationships between teachers, students, and their families.  PEAP promotes the development of foundational Math and Literacy skills using a growth mindset through personalized learning in a student-centered environment.

PEAP is:

• a personalized learning model that allows flexibility in work situations, activities, and grouping of students.
  
  
• a place where students will be encouraged to collaborate with, tolerate, and accept their PEAP peers regardless of age or grade level.
  
  
• a 1st-2nd grade program with 4 teachers who will work collaboratively to meet the needs of all PEAP students.

PEAP is:

• NOT grade level specific.
  
  
• NOT designed to push students through a grade level at an accelerated pace.
  
  
• NOT only for students who are below grade level

• Students have the opportunity for leadership roles within the PEAP family.
  
  
• Long term relationships with teachers and peers in a multi-age setting.  
  
  
• Students have more time to develop foundational skills in Math and Literacy while learning at their "just right" pace. 
  
  
• PEAP fosters a sense of community among both teachers and students as they share the responsibility for learning.
  
  
• Students have the opportunity to work with broad ranges of knowledge, skills, and classroom experiences.
