Curriculum Overview

Your 6th grade curriculum is based on an integrated approach to learning with an emphasis on developing strong habits and life skills. Expect cross-curricular programs that require application of skills and critical thinking to enhance your learning. As 21st century learners, you’ll be required to put the concepts of the 4 C’s: communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking into practice regularly.

Theme

 “Opening the Book” allows you to transition to middle school by owning your learning and REALIZING that it is your book to open.  Teachers help you learn how to learn, explore organizational techniques, understand how to manage time, and use study skills. You will learn what a valuable resource a book is, and come to learn that learning is a way of life.
