Upper Division
5th Grade
Fifth Grade begins the departmentalization of our Upper Division with students receiving instruction from content specialty teachers. This allows for a more in-depth exploration of fields of study as well as preparation for the structure of secondary school. The Upper Division is a partnership between teachers, parents, students, and the school community and every student will develop the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors needed in order to be a responsible, productive citizen and a lifelong learner in a diverse and changing global society. Each grade is split into two homerooms and core content area teachers deliver literature, writing, mathematics and global studies instruction. Students learn how to manage materials and expectations as they travel as a cohort between these classes. This two-year experience allows Upper Division students to master the academic, social, and executive function skills needed to navigate the world of middle school.
6th Grade
Being a sixth grader at Village means that you look beyond yourself. You look for ways that you can use your talents to improve the community and lives of those around you. In essence, the students become philanthropists, altruistic ambassadors for the school, their families and their communities.
Sixth grade is the culminating year at Village, so the program strives to balance students’ current needs while preparing them to transfer to middle school. A strong emphasis is placed on students developing greater responsibility and independence. Responsibility doesn’t just appear in the Village Values. Responsibility also appears in several long-anticipated projects and programs set aside for sixth graders because of their ability to see beyond their immediate concerns. Sixth graders are paired with a kindergarten “buddy” with whom they meet several times a month and participate in activities both on and off campus. 6th graders also stage a musical and put on a World's Fair for the Village community.
