For over 20 years the Montana School for the Deaf and the Blind and Lewis and Clark Elementary School have been conducting a special program as MSDB students prepare for the future by attending a few classes at Lewis and Clark.

Every afternoon four kindergartners are brought to Lewis & Clark Elementary School to learn math. The students have residual hearing which means that they aren't completely deaf, so they're able to learn side by side with the hearing students..

The students are able to hear the teachers through a microphone system and teachers say that placing the students in a this setting will help them prepare for the future.

The program is not just geared towards MSDB students with teachers saying that it helps expose students with regular hearing to something different. Educators add that by implementing diversity at such a young age it will help to build a bright future for residual hearing students.
