At this age, the children’s image of the world begins to find a new balance, as reasoning begins to emerge as a complement to feeling. The class studies the culture and myths of the Norse people, as well as classical Greece and other ancient Asian and Middle Eastern civilizations. The wisdom of these stories mirror the exponential growth in the children’s overall ability and perceptive power.

Beginning to find their own authoritative voice, the children are encouraged to complete projects, artwork, and handwork that incorporate these themes and ideas.
