As far as I'm aware, Boruto and his classmates, except for Iwabe, are supposed to be about 7 years old during the current anime arc. Their designs, admittedly, make them seem older, but that's their current age.

As for the new characters, the fact that we haven't seen them yet doesn't mean that they don't exist. Their absence can be pretty easily explained with a throwaway line about them being away on a mission or something.
