Sixth Grade
The 12 year-old is becoming more aware of their own physicality and curious about cause and effect and concrete explanations for their observations. They will study Ancient Rome, their amazing innovations and systems of government and law, the spread of and collapse of the empire, the birth of Christianity and Islam, feudalism, and the Middle Ages. In science they will study astronomy, geology & mineralogy, and physics. In math they will learn percents, learn about business math, geometry, ratios, and are introduced to the concept of algebra. Geography focuses on Europe and Latin America, as a prelude to the Age of Exploration in seventh grade. In the spring, students will participate in the Medieval Games with other local Waldorf schools.
