Rotation A of the middle-grades character curriculum. Thirty-five lessons across seven units — one a week over a 36-week year, with the last week free.
The Gr 4–6 band runs on a two-year rotation across three years, so the sequence is Grade 4 → Rotation A, Grade 5 → Rotation B, Grade 6 → Rotation A again. Grade 6 is a deliberate second pass over this same material: the topics are identical, the student is two years older, and the discussion is expected to go further.
Rotation B is in Character & Ethics: Grade 5 (Rotation B). The two rotations cover the same seven units from different angles — they are not sequential, and neither is a prerequisite for the other.
