We begin to see increasing specialization at this time as youth move ever deeper into their passions. Co-learners become stewards and guides to the learning process as students use the skills they have acquired in earlier years to direct their own learning.
Project-based learning is still employed as the main vehicle for learning. Projects become more individualized.
Youth are still encouraged to play, dance, create music, and engage in artistic pursuits.
Mornings are devoted to academic study and afternoons to free choice.
