Sixth Grade

Upon entering middle school, sixth graders become aware of the changes within their bodies while taking an intentional step out into the world. They begin to once again move out of their own "home territories" into the larger world. We offer stories of those who have left home. We demonstrate what characteristics one needs in order to move through life with courage and respect. Our teachers stay in conversation with the class about these themes, giving the pre-pubescent child a sense of clarity and a training ground for their own arguments. This allows more freedom and more authorship in their own stories. The children explore: geology, astronomy, physics, climate, roman history, pre-algebra, and business math.
