At GUS, our curriculum is both thematic and spiraling, meaning students revisit key topics throughout their years, each time gaining a deeper and more complex understanding. A great example from this week: Second graders, whose theme is “where do I live?”, explored mapping New England, building foundational geography skills. Meanwhile, eighth graders, whose theme is “where do I live/where am I going?”, are finalizing their world map projects—an annual favorite in 8th-grade humanities that challenges students to consider their place in the world.
