Students are known across ages and differences
Small groups and multi-age routines help students be seen by adults and by one another. Younger and older students share projects, reading time, outdoor time, and everyday school life.
DEI & belonging

Main Street School serves students and families from many backgrounds. Our small size and multi-age structure create daily opportunities to build real relationships across academic, cultural, and personal differences.

Belonging happens here because…
Inclusion at Main Street School isn't a policy statement—it's built into how we structure the school day, plan learning, and relate to one another.
Community experiences build belonging
Local visits, service, and outdoor learning help students practice empathy and responsibility in real places with real people.
