Middle School

Berkeley Rose middle school students continue focusing their studies through the Main Lesson, the cornerstone of Waldorf education.

Main Lessons are taught in blocks based on one topic and usually last three to five weeks, for two hours a day. Block scheduling allows teachers and students to intensively focus on a particular academic area. Material is presented in a variety of styles; which allows for time to examine connections to other disciplines and to incorporate the arts. Each day, in addition to the Main Lesson, students have classes taught by specialized subject teachers culminating in a fully-rounded education that develops the whole child.
