In the Philippines, the first mission schools were organized as multigrade schools. Single grade schooling was introduced during the early 1900s by the Americans. Multigrade schools were organized as matter of necessity for remote barangays. Aside from the limited enrolment, the distance of the barangay to a school , teacher shortage, lack of funds for school buildings and other facilities also led to the organization of multigrade schools in the different parts of the country.

The multigrade classroom provides the opportunity
to “break down the walls” between grades and
look at the students as groups of learners. These
learners will be different in so many ways.
In a multigrade classroom, there can be real
student-centered learning built on the principles of
“bayanihan” in a barangay community. Barangay
ways of helping each other can come to life in a
multigrade classroom where a wide variety of
people interact, plan, work, and learn together.
