The curriculum of the this pod offers support and nourishment for the adolescent child experiencing their twelve-year-change by offering students examples of order created from chaos, and harmony from disharmony. Observation is emphasized as a balance to the natural pull of asserting one’s own judgment and opinion. They are embarking on the self-consciousness of puberty, which comes with an onset of new thinking and a connection between their inner experiences and dialogue with the outer world.
