Want a lively, interactive and unique curriculum option for your 6th grader? The Live-Education 6th grade curriculum may be what you're looking for. This year, the curriculum continues to be both responsive to the needs and development of the student as well as progresses with the lessons that were covered the previous year.
The main lesson blocks this year include Grammar, Geometry (which continues the lesson from last year and yet compliments the main lesson blocks this year), introduction to algebra (this is an option I recommend waiting on until your student is in 7th, 8th or even 9th grade), Mineralogy, Introduction to Physics and Astronomy make up your science main lesson blocks, and Middle Ages, Ancient Roman History and Ancient Greek History make up your history units for the year. This is quite a packed year and you'll still want to make room for afternoon classes such as foreign language, music, physical movement and handwork.
In fact, you'll be surprised at how much writing, dictation and copywork occur with the history and science main lesson blocks, but it's nice to have a main lesson block in grammar which can be used as early at 5th grade all the way through to 8th grade.
There are additional materials you'll need for the school year. In addition to a source book for each subject area (you could do without one, but with some subjects, it's highly recommended), you'll need main lesson books, color pencils and the Key to Curriculum workbooks for fractions and decimals.
While there is a single teacher for grades 1st-8th in a Waldorf school, there are also other teachers that a student will interact with on a daily and weekly basis. There are additional lessons that are taught by specialized teachers. For instance, there are foreign language teachers who teach twice a week in the afternoons after the main lesson has been completed by the classroom teacher, there are handiwork teachers, eurythmy teachers, and music teachers who also teacher regularly throughout the year. This provides a nice balance of role models throughout a child's experience at school.
The same can be achieved at home. You may choose to have additional classes for your child and thereby your child will be exposed to other teachers other than yourself.
