 In the 12–15 age group, students in mixed-age groups (5th, 4th, and 3rd-year students) embark on a journey of self-discovery and preparation for the next stage of their educational path (entering high school) through projects centered on working the land, the expressive arts, exploring economic independence, and, of course, age-appropriate academic subjects.
