6th Grade

6th Grade Math Project

The 6th grade experience at St. Mark’s is designed to help students begin to take on more independence now that they are fully adapted to middle school life. Whether they were part of our 5th grade program or are arriving with experiences from another school, our 6th graders are ready to begin taking on responsibility for keeping track of their own tasks, materials, and time. Advisors and teachers guide students through goal setting, developing organizational skills, and practicing effective time management habits.

6th grade is a year for students to continue to discover who they are as learners. Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves whether they need extra support or additional academic challenges. Teachers work to empower each student as they navigate the academic and social aspects of the year while taking ownership of their own unique educational journey.
