In their third and final year in the Cycle 1 environment, once they are school-age, students move to one of the standalone Prep classes.
In the Prep class, students focus on Prep-level academic work in preparation for Junior Primary. All Prep students spend some of the day working alongside Early Learning (pre-school) children as they have a natural tendency toward leadership and mentorship and the children are spontaneously drawn to one another.
