Classes and Cohorts

Aberdeen Hall offers approximately 60 Preschool placements and follows a model of three classes per cohort from Kindergarten through Grade 12. As a result, our graduating class consists of approximately 60 students each year. Aberdeen Hall does not have any split-grade classes.

Our class size policy, approved by the Board of Directors, is designed to foster an engaging and interactive learning environment where students can thrive academically and socially, while also ensuring the short- and long-term financial stability of our school.
