Grade 7
In 7th grade, students learn more about themselves as individuals. This theme is emphasized throughout the curriculum and ranges from giving students choice in their reading to the individual research they pursue in the Model United Nations projects.
The curriculum is also designed to bring students together with peers and teachers as a community of writers, researchers, and learners. The classroom is considered a workshop, conference room, or "think tank.” Students learn from one another and the masters as they strive for personal excellence. Approaches to work are individual as well as collective, and much of the learning and discovery occurs through collaboration and integration.
The curriculum gives students the opportunity to broaden their understanding of culture as presented in 6th grade. It further explores the concept of culture and what it means to be a citizen of the world through an in-depth study of historic and current global issues and conflicts, and the creation of a model United Nations.
