Grade 6

Grade 6 marks a significant transition for students, as they move from elementary to middle school-level education. At this stage, students are encouraged to take greater responsibility for their learning, hone critical thinking skills, and explore subjects in greater depth. This year focuses on preparing them academically, socially, and emotionally for the challenges of middle school and beyond. This year is crucial for helping students bridge the gap between childhood and adolescence, preparing them for the academic rigors and social dynamics of middle school. Grade 6 encourages curiosity, responsibility, and a love for learning while fostering skills for personal growth and future success. Analyzing a wide range of literature, including novels, non-fiction, and poetry, to develop comprehension, interpretation, and critical thinking skills. Crafting essays, research reports, creative stories, and persuasive arguments with an emphasis on structure, grammar, and vocabulary.
