Higher Grades

Young adolescents now reach a developmental stage where their inner life of feeling can take extreme forms in their search for independence. The age is characterised by: 

• Birth of the newfound and still tentative identity and personal freedom.
• The awakening of stringent logic and thinking potential that requires distance from one's own self and other people.
• The search for balance between intellectuality and the realm of passion and urge-driven will.
• The experience of the emergence of a higher ideal in humanity.

They need the guidance of strong ideals to orient their strong will to engage on life. Class 9 & 10 children need to be handled with clear explanations, sympathetic understanding and open hearted humor from all adults around them.
