Roberts Field Soars as Multiage Learning Community
Through its commitment to holistic and interdisciplinary
academic education RFS provides students with the foundation, nurture, skill set and knowledge to be powerfully and passionately prepared for middle school.
RFS was founded through answering the question of what children and families need to thrive powerfully and remain fully engaged in academic education, with our community, our environment, our education, and multi-dimensional learning.
Our learning must be heighted, creative, and involve multiple intelligences, voices, and opportunities to engage the world.
We believe that this multi-age approach is not only appropriate to the Roberts Field educational program, but that it creates an environment in which our mission and philosophy can be brought to full capacity. The spectrum of multiple intelligences is diversified, which fosters the natural emergence of strong leaders, mentors, apprentices, and growers in the classroom community. Roberts Field programming and approach is intentionally developed to nurture differentiated learning groups within these multi-age classrooms.
Roberts Field has developed strong relationships with area public and private middle schools to prepare our elementary school families and students for graduation and matriculation to their next educational center.
