Biology Main Lesson Blocks
(Grades 7-10)
Our Biology Main Lesson Blocks are offered in a Waldorf-inspired manner, honouring the evolving consciousness of the adolescent and the child’s growing relationship to the living world. Teaching unfolds through observation, dialogue, artistic work, and guided reflection, allowing understanding to arise organically rather than through memorisation of isolated facts.
Lessons are structured in rhythmic main lesson blocks, enabling continuity, depth, and inner engagement with the subject.
Classes meet four times a week, with two guided group discussion Fridays during each block to support articulation, questioning, and shared thinking.
Each block runs for 4–5 weeks, creating the time and space for concepts to mature inwardly.

Grade 7 & 8: Anatomy and Physiology - Part I -
(Ages 13 - 15)
Early adolescence is a turning point. Children begin to feel their bodies changing, their thinking deepening, and their independence growing. This Grade 7 Biology block meets them at exactly this moment—offering understanding, reassurance, and balance.
Through a rich, age-appropriate study of the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems, students encounter the human body not as a collection of parts, but as a living, harmonious whole. Learning is experiential and visual, using observation, drawing, storytelling, and discussion to create clear inner pictures that stay with the child long after the block ends.
Health, nutrition, and daily habits are woven naturally into the lessons, helping students recognize how their everyday choices affect energy, mood, and well-being. As cause and effect become clearer, children develop a growing sense of responsibility for their own health—without fear, pressure, or information overload.
This block quietly supports what parents most hope for at this age:
self-awareness, respect for the body, emotional balance, and confidence in navigating change. It offers children a calm, grounded understanding of themselves at a time when inner and outer life are rapidly shifting.
This is not just biology—it is an essential foundation for healthy adolescence.
Duration: 5 weeks - 2nd March to 3rd April
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 10.00 am Central Time
Fee: USD 375 for the full 5 week block
Grade 8 & 9: Anatomy and Physiology - Part II
(Ages: 14 - 16)
By mid-adolescence, young people are no longer only experiencing change — they are questioning it. They want clarity, truth, and a deeper understanding of how the human body functions, adapts, and maintains balance under physical and emotional demands. This Grade 8 Biology block meets this growing maturity with seriousness, respect, and insight.
Students explore the nervous and sensory systems, hormonal balance, and the foundations of human health, building on earlier studies of circulation, respiration, and digestion. The human being is approached as a finely tuned, self-regulating organism—where thinking, feeling, and willing are intimately connected to bodily processes.
Lessons combine careful observation, accurate drawing, discussion, and clear scientific reasoning, strengthening the adolescent’s developing capacity for independent thought and judgment. Health education is practical and meaningful, addressing sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, and lifestyle choices in a way that empowers rather than alarms.
At this age, students are forming lifelong habits and attitudes toward their bodies. This block supports them in developing discernment, responsibility, and confidence—helping them understand not only what happens in the body, but why balance matters.
This course offers something essential:
A thoughtful, age-appropriate foundation that prepares young people to meet adolescence with knowledge, steadiness, and self-respect.
This is biology that strengthens both mind and life skills—an important step toward healthy, conscious adulthood.
Duration: 4 weeks - 11th May to 5th June
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 10.00 am Central Time
Fee: USD 300 for the full block
Grades 9–10 Biology
(Ages 15–17)
A Deepening Journey into Life Processes
As students enter the high school years, their thinking becomes more analytical, reflective, and questioning. In these later teenage years, young people seek truth, coherence, and meaning. Their thinking becomes more independent, and they begin to ask deeper questions about life, identity, and transformation.
Biology at this stage supports this awakening by guiding students toward a clear, respectful understanding of life itself, both visible and invisible, offering scientific clarity while continuing to honor life as a living, meaningful process—not just information to be memorized.
Block 1: Foundations of Life – Cells & Living Processes
At this age, students are ready to encounter life at its most subtle level. This block invites them into the microscopic world of the cell, where form, function, and purpose work together in quiet intelligence. Through the study of plant and animal cells, students explore how nourishment, transport, growth, and transformation sustain living beings.
Learning is grounded in careful observation, drawing, and phenomenological description, helping students build inner clarity before abstract conclusions are introduced. The chemical foundations of life—including biological molecules and enzymes—are approached as living processes rather than isolated facts, supporting a holistic understanding of how life maintains itself.
This work strengthens the adolescent’s growing capacity for abstract thinking, while nurturing reverence for life and confidence in scientific understanding.
Duration: 4 weeks - Coming Soon in Summer
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 10.00 am Central Time
Fee: USD 300 for the full block
Block 2: Reproduction, Inheritance & Transformation
As adolescents experience powerful forces of growth and change within themselves, this block offers a thoughtful and responsible exploration of how life continues and transforms across generations. Students study the reproductive system, cell division (mitosis and meiosis), and the foundations of inheritance and variation, meeting these themes with maturity and respect.
The work supports adolescents in forming a conscious relationship to individuality, continuity, and responsibility, without sensationalism or reductionism. Scientific concepts are held within an ethical, human-centred framework, helping students think clearly while honouring the dignity of life processes.
Together, these two blocks guide students toward an understanding of life that is accurate, meaningful, and inwardly strengthening—supporting both intellectual independence and inner steadiness.
Duration: 4 weeks - Coming Soon in Summer
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 10.00 am Central Time
Fee: USD 300 for the full block
These Grades 9–10 Biology blocks will be offered as part of our upcoming summer programme.
If you feel this approach may be right for your child, we warmly invite you to send in an enquiry form to receive further details as schedules and formats are finalized.
We look forward to beginning this next stage of the biology journey together.
