 h English (en)In Montessori education, '''Mixed Ages''' classrooms are a fundamental characteristic, where children of various ages learn together in the same environment.<ref>Montessori, M. (1967). The Discovery of the Child. Ballantine Books.</ref> Age groupings are based on Montessori's planes of development. Children from 3 to 6 years of age learn together in the Children's House, 6 to 9-year-olds share the lower elementary level, and the upper elementary level is made up of 9 to 12-year-olds. As the work is tailored to individual progress, children learn at their own pace. This mixed age setting fosters cooperation rather than competition among children.
