The benefit of staying within a 3 year cycle in a smaller social environment, such as BMS, is often underestimated.  By creating this 'real-world' dynamic, children need to adapt to work with peers and lead others, to negotiate conflict, diversity and belonging, to build and abide by "community" boundaries and agreements.  It's more than just academics, it's a life skill that very rarely gets taught and revered at this age.  But one that delivers a great benefit in adulthood.
