As students begin to develop more adult questions and capacities, HDC Grade 7 grounds its lessons on understanding that everyone has innate value and human dignity. Complex ideas are made tangible through classroom discussion and writing activities, allowing students to relate character development to their own ability to grow in excellence. Lessons on the power to think and choose and freedom for excellence are discussed in line with assessing the elements that shape the students’ identity and how they can use this knowledge to choose excellence.
