Phases of Learning
At The Center for the Study of Boys,
learning evolves as boys grow. Many students begin their academic career enthusiastically in Lower School, approach it from a more emotional place as they enter Middle School, and ultimately use it as a form of self-expression in upper school. Explore the unique drivers and influences of each phase of learning below.
-
Grades JK-2
Younger boys enter the classroom excited about school. When they experience learning as engaging and enjoyable, they seek more of it. -
Grades 3-5
These years provide the foundation for future achievement. The student-teacher relationship is still important, but now there is a peer influence at play. -
Grades 6-8
During middle school, boys begin to develop the ability to understand abstract concepts. However, each boy’s relationship with his teacher is equally as important as his interest in the subject matter. -
Grades 9-12
Boys in upper school are just beginning to challenge their world and develop their individual viewpoints. Creating the opportunity for lively discussions help them articulate their ideas and perceptions.
