Middle School.
Grades 5-8.
Creating Leaders for the Future.
As students arrive on the cusp of adolescence, The Waldorf School of Tampa Bay’s rigorous upper grades program challenges their emerging thinking, reasoning, and curiosity. On an ever-deepening base of foundational skills, students explore the world without and within. The children hone their powers of perception through continuing work in diverse fields of fine, practical, and performing arts, and they develop skillfulness in the context of a challenging and engaging practice. Our middle school curriculum is outlined below.
“I think the result of Waldorf education is to raise our consciousness. It made me a good listener, sensitive to the needs of others. And, it helped establish meaningful beliefs. Waldorf taught me how to think for myself, to be responsible for my decisions.”
— Kenneth Chenault, American business executive, former Chariman of American Express
