Fifth grade at REDS is a bridge year — thoughtfully designed to help students transition from the routines of
elementary school to the increasing independence of middle school. Students are given more autonomy over their learning while receiving support in essential organizational skills that will serve them throughout their academic lives. Their schedule allows for deep focus on academics, while daily advisory, reflection, and guidance ensure each student feels seen, known, and supported. Through hands-on learning, meaningful projects, and exposure to arts, service, and technology, students begin to discover their passions and build confidence in their abilities.
