Charles Dickens Elementary School
Charles Dickens Elementary is a public elementary school in Vancouver, British Columbia. The school is part of School District 39 Vancouver. Dickens is different from other Vancouver public schools in that it has multi-age classes throughout the school (e.g., classes with 2-3 grades mixed together and students stay with the same teacher for up to 3 years). Teachers also have formal team-teaching arrangements with teachers in other classes. Dickens does not issue letter grades in report cards: reports from K-7 include detailed anecdotal comments on what each child is able to perform.
