Playing a Violin

Grade 7

Incoming 12.5 - 13.5 year old

Through the exploration of an unknown world, this curriculum challenges the thought processes of the young adolescent, leading them to discovery, understanding and discernment. Externally, the body is usually in the throes of puberty while, internally, the new force of intellect is born. The child loses whatever balance and tranquility they have acquired in the heart of childhood. An appetite for knowledge of, and about, world phenomena, mingles with an emerging capacity for reflection and the first promptings of self reflection.

Curriculum pivots around tools for self-expression and discovery as the child uses their power of judgement while also recognizing the responsibility for self, and the respect for others. As these students enter puberty they are on their way to selfhood. A spirit of inquiry and creativity needs to be fostered to allow for a sweet entry into adulthood.
