Students in the 6th grade learn about the 地理位置 of Eurasia and the 文化s and 宗教s that flourished along the ancient trade routes of the Silk Road, 无论是过去还是现在. Seventh graders study the American Dream: what it has meant to various segments of American society throughout the nation’s history, and how different groups sought to achieve their visions of the American Dream. 八年级的时候, students learn how humans’ collective learning over time led to our interconnected and interdependent global world, and how our human-dominated world increasingly impinges upon the natural world in ways that threaten the future of human societies.
