2026/2027 Class 11 Full Experience Details

Handwork with Ms. Maggie

Our focus for the year will be leatherworking. We will begin the year by exploring the history of leatherworking from ancient civilizations in prehistoric times to leatherworking during the Middle Ages through modern day times. Students will learn how to use basic leather hand sewing techniques to create several useful projects throughout the year.

Eurythmy with Ms. Tiffany

The theme of the eleventh grade is “Individual Quest.” We begin this individual quest by working with the 4 main Zodiac, colors, continuation of planetary gestures and activities, and vowels and diphthongs. For tonal work, tone eurythmy intervals and the gestures that accompany them are introduced. All other tone work is a continuation of previous learned fundamentals except with more complex music and forms. For copper rods we will learn to master and properly execute advanced copper rod exercises and put together a copper rod “piece.”

German with Mr. Dornemann

The aim of the course is to experience the German language, to get used to its sounds, acquire basic vocabulary and speaking skills. It is intended for beginners with no or little previous exposure to the German language.  In the recorded part of the lessons there will be listening and speaking activities, poems, songs, stories and tongue twisters. Students will practice speaking by repeating what the teacher presents. In our live sessions we will engage in speaking and conversation as well as call and response.  The vocabulary covered will include actions, counting, phrases, cultural references and many words describing aspects of everyday life. 

Music with Mr. Mark 

Building on current students’ musical abilities (including instruments played and previously studied either in school or private lessons) and prior musical experience (in school, private lessons, music, making with family and friends), we will work together to create our own unique musical compositions. We will use traditional instruments as well as “found percussion” instruments and body percussion to facilitate our explorations. The 8-week course culminates with the professional-level recording/mixing of our composition, performed by us, and presented as a digital recording for us to keep and share.
