It was a move that raised some eyebrows and caused some concerns but most people at Beaver Brae High School in Kenora are praising the new grade 7 to 12 model introduced this year.
Principal Clinton Bruetsch says the kids love it.
Bruetsch adds teachers have embraced the initiative.
The program currently provides service to roughly 150 grade 7 and 8 students and the kids are located in a wing of the school which is restricted to grade 9 and 12 students.
