The Family Cluster Model offers intergenerational learning for parents and children in Grades 3 – 7.*
- Clusters, which are self-selected and formed, usually consist of 2 to 5 families.
- One or both parents and child(ren) participate.
- Clusters meet monthly in one another’s homes.
- The families in the clusters determine monthly meeting times.
- Adults share teaching, leadership and hospitality.
- Cluster representatives attend planning sessions with the Religious Education team.
- Participation in clusters involves a serious commitment to be present at all sessions.
*Students preparing for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion (typically Grades 1 and 2), and students preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation (typically Grades 8, 9, and 10) are not eligible for the Family Cluster Model; they must enroll in the Traditional Classroom Instruction program.
