In English, we seek to challenge the minds and to engage the imaginations of our students. We teach them to think both critically and creatively through the craft of writing and the analysis of their own and others’ language. We explore the past, consider the present, and imagine the future with the understanding that reading and writing shape the world.
Why English?
We teach our students life-long skills, so that they learn to read carefully and write clearly, creatively, and effectively—discovering themselves even as they lay a solid foundation for professional success.
