Grade Level Placement Model

Every student learns at their own pace, and the grade on a transcript doesn't always match where a student is ready to work. Before a new student starts at Pembroke, we use a grade-level placement assessment in reading and math to determine the appropriate grade level for them.

For some students, that means moving into an advanced grade. For others, it means starting where they can build the skills they need with targeted support. Either way, your child begins the year with the right level of challenge and a clear path forward.
