“Near West Intergenerational School's mission is to connect, create and guide a multigenerational community of lifelong learners and spirited citizens. It serves K-8 students and older adults with an innovative developmental approach that includes real life experiences and community relationships. Last year, Near West Intergenerational School was rated #3 in the entire city of Cleveland for student achievement. Each multi-age classroom (spanning 3-4 year of age and varied abilities), creates a dynamic and individualized learning environment where everyone can be both a teacher and learner. Progressing at their own pace, students move fluidly through developmental stages based on mastery (no social promotion). The Intergenerational Schools are also recipients of the national Eisner Prize for Intergenerational Excellence. The Eisner Prize recognizes individuals or non-profit organizations for efforts to unite multiple generations-especially seniors and youth- and bring about positive, lasting changes in their communities. Students regularly interact with diverse adults and elders who participate as mentors, tutors and co-learners. Community partnerships are key and every class adopts a long term care facility's residents for regular visits and activities. The School also partners with local high schools, colleges and nonprofits for regular programming, including Cleveland Music Settlement, Kentucky Community Garden, Tailspinner Children's Theater, MiCasita Early Learning Center, etc. to offer a rich and joyful learning experience.”
