6th Grade

Welcome to 6th grade!

This year is full of new challenges and opportunities, from researching Ancient Greece, to exploring plant and cell biology, to more challenging math and language development, and much more. Middle School productions and sports continue full force, and there are plenty of fun events throughout the year to keep things exciting, culminating with a great year-end class trip. Each student's advisor is the primary point of contact to encourage and guide the student through the school year.
