Eighth Grade, Class Roma

Eighth grade marks the culmination of the eight-year primary school journey, and it brings the students to a crossroads as their time with their grades teacher ends. The work becomes more challenging in preparation for the independent thinking that will be expected in high school.

The work is precise and filled with many layers, be it the lofty language of Shakespeare or the complex processes of organic chemistry. 

During this year, the students step wholeheartedly into adolescence. With this leap comes a deepening capacity for judgment, a call to greater responsibility, and the quest to discover who they are and what they will become. As students leave the grade school, their sense of authority turns inwards, and they begin to look for direction within themselves.
