Our mixed age approach​

​

​

Based on decades of research studies that have been conducted in Finland on the benefits of mixed- age learning, KEY academy combines children of different ages to more accurately reflect the groups they will encounter and interact with in society throughout their lives. This nurtures invaluable skills which are not developed through memorisation or examinations:

​

• Social and emotional skills

• Teaching younger children

• Learning how to take instruction from older children, not just adults

​

Our nursery enrols children from the ages of 18 months up to 3 years, whilst our primary school enrols children from 3 years old upwards. We are building out learning groups each year (including adding secondary education) and will ultimately have learning groups in place all the way up to the age of 18.
