About The Denver Waldorf Middle School
6th Grade: The spirit of conquest and the rule of law
A time of collaboration, self-direction, grounding, and emerging, sixth grade marks the emergence of adolescence and the struggle between light and dark. Sixth graders take the first step toward critical thinking as they study Roman civilization and the Middle Ages, as well as astronomy, physics, and mineralogy — subjects met with discernment and insight to encourage a healthy interest in, and compassion for, the world.
7th Grade: Questing into the unknown
Looking outward while feeling inward, seventh graders are expressive and forceful, challenging authority and exploring limits. They seek to assert independence and find their place, while remembering to provide light for those behind them. During this time of discovery, resistance, optimism, chaos, and order, we explore the Renaissance and examine truth and beauty via scientists, religious reformers, and artists.
8th Grade: Extending one’s horizons
By eighth grade, students have gained a well-rounded general picture of humanity and the universe. It is a time of self-confidence, interest in the world, self-love, and service to others. The elementary education has engaged their hearts, wills, and minds, forming the basis for real learning throughout their lives. The final year of elementary school brings previous experiences to a new peak, enabling students to enter fully and potently into their own time.
