Class Description

Children race to meet their twelfth-year-of-life experiences as they begin the journey through the year of Class 6. New capacities and new ways of experiencing and discovering the world emerge in their lives. While critical, independent thinking will truly unfold in High School, in Class 6, they enter the realm of a feeling approach to thinking. The child’s life and experiences undergo great changes, physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. Centered and grounded support and guidance of loving adults around them, parents, grandparents, teachers, family mentors, is of utmost importance as we go through this year and the years ahead. Academically, the curriculum takes us through the work of laying the foundation for the conceptual and critical thinking they are preparing for.

Students explore mathematical laws while developing confidence in their capacities to understand them, apply them, and to trust that they can think through them. They write more than they did in the past with very little, if any, copying of the teacher's composition. Their skills in writing well organized  essays expand as well as their skills for business formats of writing.

Astronomy, mineralogy, geography, history, physics, and math weave together through the school year, allowing the children to experience their interconnectedness in the world that they live in. Science experiments offer the platform for observations and explorations in acoustics, heat, light and color and the natural laws that are revealed. The fundamental principles in math awaken the thinking and the beauty, harmony and order in precise geometric constructions reaffirm the children’s certainty and security in the world leading them with assurance into the Middle School years.
