6th Grade

In sixth grade, we are dedicated to nurturing student agency, fostering self-advocacy, and facilitating a smooth transition to secondary school. During this period of transition and change, we emphasize the importance of social-emotional well-being. We believe that students should be empowered to be creative, take risks in their learning, and reflect on both their growth and their struggles. Our goal is to build resiliency through the use of mastery-based learning and the understanding that sometimes learning requires failure first. The transition from elementary to middle school is hard—this is why we believe that learning should be fun and engaging. We aim to equip students with the skills and mindset needed to thrive academically, socially, and personally.
