Curriculum for 6-9 year-olds

 

 

Work in the 6-9 classroom involves the transition from the largely sensorial to the more and more abstract; from exercises entirely with the materials to more and more exercises using symbols, pencil and paper. To facilitate this transition, the 6-9 classroom is equipped with many of the more advanced materials from the 3-6 classroom and with materials which challenge the elementary child's expanded cosmic interests and abilities, such as those of the planets, U.S. History and animal phyla.

The 6-9 curriculum also addresses the child's more advanced social and emotional development with instruction in such things as Grace and Courtesy, and Conflict Resolution.
