Multi-grade classes exist in remote areas where there are not enough students to form single-grade classes. They are organized with students of different grades together in one classroom, not with teachers running between separate classrooms or classes isolated from each other. Benefits of multi-grade classes include increased enrollment, more efficient use of resources, and improved learning as students can progress at individual paces.
