\n\tMixed age class is a type of open education. Our experiential learning activities are carried out in a mixed age learning setting, aiming to break down the learning boundaries confined by age, in order to maximize the learning effectiveness by peers\u2019 guidance and imitation. It allows young children to learn from their experiences and to inherit the class culture from their older peers, while the older children gain the experience of being leaders in the classroom. \n \t\t\n\t<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
