One-of-a-Kind Education
for your One-of-a-Kind Kid
At the Intergenerational Schools, students
follow their curiosity, build community, and learn to lead
through a school model as unique as they are.
We offer tuition-free K-8 education at two campuses in Cleveland, where every child has room to grow at their own pace in a supportive, joyful learning environment.
Why Choose the Intergenerational Schools
Whether your child is a social butterfly, an aspiring engineer, a champion storyteller, or still figuring it out, they’ll find their place here. Our students learn in multi-age classrooms with individualized instruction that meets them where they are.
They build confidence through intergenerational partnerships with volunteers and community members who share their wisdom and curiosity. And they consistently outperform peers at neighboring non-selective schools, going on to attend Northeast Ohio’s top high schools.
The Intergenerational Schools aren’t just high-performing—they’re built differently. Students thrive here because they feel seen, supported, and connected to something bigger than themselves.
“The culture at Intergenerational Schools is built on acceptance, empathy, and true community. And the academic support has been just as remarkable.”
– Melissa Jajko, parent of 3 students
