MACC

Vancouver Board of Education's Multi-Age Cluster Class is  a district program that provides academic challenge and social-emotional support for highly gifted elementary students through an intellectual peer group and conceptually advanced curriculum. Students participate in an interdisciplinary program designed to challenge and develop the depth and breadth of the student’s critical and creative thinking abilities utilizing a diverse range of higher level thinking models. 

Supporting the students in becoming autonomous learning is a central focus of this program.  Reflection on individual learning, social emotional development, the nature of excellence, communtiy service and group dynamic are integral parts of the curriculum. Defining personal interests and individual goals and demonstrating a personal work ethic are important aspects of the classroom experience.
