Yes, or if that's not possible, having a mixed-age learning environment is good. Interaction between different age groups stimulates learning and maturation.
BTW, you've mentioned creating a HS curriculum several times. While I don't have any experience with curriculum development, I'm wondering why a curriculum in use in a private school that emphasizes the classics/Western canon, wouldn't be adequate for White families. For many subjects, using textbooks written prior to the 1960's would be valuable, IMO.
