The seventh grader is inquisitive about the world and their own self-identity, and eager for knowledge, independence, and social connection. Through the curriculum, students are met with increasingly challenging academics, and supported by the teachers during this time of significant physical, emotional, social and academic growth.
The seventh grader is met developmentally by applying discovery learning principles. The Waldorf curriculum works across all subjects to echo the energy of your seventh grader, including a deep dive into another time of remarkable discovery- the Renaissance. The explosion of creativity and knowledge during this time in history provides an elegant parallel to the seventh grader’s experience of adolescence. In addition, service projects provide affirmation of meeting the world.
