Sixth Grade
Big psychological jump from elementary school. Different classrooms per subject. More independent study and projects will be a change!
Middle School
This is a time of great transition for your student. They go from being the Big Fifth Grader to the under-classman Sixth Grader. Each class is in a different room and they’ll have to manage their belongings and organize their assignments. At first it may be a challenge for some students but they will adjust. It’s a fun time as a parent too as your child is now able to have interesting and deep conversations and come up with questions that may surprise you! With my own kids in Europe, I gave them more freedom to decide what the family did and do some more independent activities! Each age is special but I loved these years!
