Academic classes at Tara are divided into two types: Main Lesson blocks, which are 2-hour daily class periods with a two to four week subject rotation, and Track classes, which take place 2 or 3 times a week throughout the semester. The specific course offerings of each grade are listed in the drop-down menu above, under "Curriculum" then "Classes." To see when subjects are taught during the year, see the Main Lesson schedule and the Literature schedule. Mathematics Overview |

All math classes at Tara are small in size and the students get a significant amount of individual attention. The math instructors are on campus during lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays to offer private tutoring at no extra charge to students who require one-on-one help from time to time. |

| Science Overview The sciences in a Waldorf school are taught as part of the main lesson block plan. In terms of credits, generally, two blocks equal six units, or just slightly more than one semester. For example, Physics I (grade 9) and Physics II (grade 10) equal just over one semester, and Physics III (grade 11) and Physics IV (grade 12) another semester, giving a total of twelve (12) Physics units upon completion of the curriculum. (Requirement for graduation is 10.) Tara science teachers are all specialists in their fields. Many travel to Boulder for these three-week blocks, specifically to teach our students. They are working scientists, and the students are privileged to be exposed to the level of scientific expertise and practical background that they bring to the classroom. See Faculty Biographies |

Foreign Language Overview We place much emphasis on awakening a thorough understanding of the culture, ways of thinking and customs of the countries of study. Through this process we work closely with the specific interests of the students, fostering an atmosphere of interactive, enthusiastic learning. German students learn much about the history, culture and literature of Germany, while Spanish students focus on cultural studies of all Spanish speaking countries.
