English

All Genders Course;
Prerequisite - Successful completion of one year of 8th grade or permission from the administration;
Full Year Course

This course fulfills any high school English requirement, with a focus on close reading and writing with clarity and purpose. Students learn to read for understanding and analysis through poetry, short stories, non-fiction, and novels selected by the teacher and through a choice novel that aligns with the students’ face-to-face schools. Reading serves as the foundation for writing and discussion, and assignments are designed to encourage critical thinking and connection. Writing is taught as a process (planning, drafting, and revising), and students practice this process through a variety of types of writing, including analytical, persuasive, creative, and personal essays. Students refine their diction and syntax with particular attention to grammar as a tool for precision, style, and meaning. Through close study of paragraph and essay structures, students learn how to articulate and prove a claim with careful unpacking of a text. This course empowers students to become confident readers, writers, speakers, and listeners.
