The UMEI classroom experience is second to none. The difference starts with the small class sizes, which allow amazing learning to happen in the classroom! At UMEI, teachers work hard for each student to reach their potential and flourish within their God-given gifts.

Small class sizes means that:

• Teachers can enhance their teaching strategies and more easily assess each student’s progress
• Students learn to trust their teachers and peers and feel more comfortable taking risks and making mistakes, which leads to improved learning
• Teachers know each student as a person, and can teach to their interests, build on their strengths and support them through their challenges
• Students experience high expectations according to their individual needs, and receive a high level of support from teachers to help them reach their goals

• Hands-on learning occurs more often, where all students participate and actively participate in their learning
• Increased confidence through more speaking time in class and stronger relationships with peers and teachers
• Parents receive more regular communication from classroom teachers as partners in their child’s education
