At BBIS, our mixed-age classroom isn’t just a method it’s a powerful environment where children naturally grow into confident, capable learners. Instead of placing students strictly by age, children who are one year apart learn together in the same space. This creates a more balanced and realistic learning community, just like the real world where people of different ages work, communicate and problem-solve side by side.


Younger children benefit instantly in this setting. They watch how the older classmates read, communicate, organise their work and manage themselves. Without pressure, they quickly imitate these positive behaviours and learn faster. This natural role modelling builds strong foundations in independence, manners, communication and emotional maturity.



Meanwhile, older children develop leadership in a way no textbook can teach. They learn to guide, explain and help younger friends building empathy, confidence and responsibility. When older students teach or support others, their own understanding becomes stronger, and they grow into calm, caring role models who feel proud of their abilities.


The result is a classroom culture that feels like a family respectful, supportive and calm. There is no unhealthy competition, only teamwork and growth at each child’s own pace. This is why BBIS students are often more confident, independent and socially mature. Mixed-age classrooms don’t just prepare children for school; they prepare them for life.
