Rural schools often have mixed-age (multigrade) classes because of small enrolmenis. There is a body of
research which supports classes which are mixed-age by choice - multiage classes. To what extent can the
successful practices of multiage teachers be adopted by multigrade teachers in rural schools? This article
presents a summary of the research findings related to both multiage and multigrade classes, and explores the
factors which are relevant in explaining the success of multiage classes.
