Sixth Grade

Middle School

As puberty approaches, your sixth grade student may be about to enter a time of inner turmoil. Alongside the physical changes, you can expect to see stronger objective reasoning and critical thinking skills. Sixth graders beginning middle school seek balance between their own individuality and their desire to belong.
