A computer-assisted instruction system used in a method of instructing a group of students broadly includes a suite (12,14,16,18) configured to accommodate the group of students and a computer system (36) for delivery of instruction relating to an instruction curriculum to the suite (12,14,16,18). The suite (12,14,16,18) includes a group assembly area and a plurality of harbors (24). The harbors (24) are each configured to accommodate a pair of the students. The computer system (36) includes a computer (38) positioned at each harbor coupled with a network computer (40). The computers (38) are linked to permit electronic transfer of information between the harbors (24). A method of instruction broadly includes the steps of assigning a pair of the group of students to each of the harbors (24), presenting a portion of an instruction curriculum to the pair of students at each harbor (24), assembling the students within the suite (12,14,16,18) after a selected period of time, presenting a group project to the assembled group of students, and dividing the group project into project segments, the pairs of students leaving the group assembly area to work on the project segments at their respective harbors (24). A presentation of the group project is given after the students reassemble.
