English
The English Department promotes the values of diversity, integrity, and independent thinking through an intense immersion in literary texts representing a wide range of eras, cultures, and writing styles. Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of oral and written communication skills as well as digital literacy – the ability to locate, evaluate and critically reflect on information derived from a variety of media – to prepare our students for the challenges of the modern world.
We aspire to help our students become critical thinkers, compassionate individuals, and good citizens of the world. We believe in the power of literature to shape individuals, and are committed to inducing in our students an appreciation of reading as a means of discovery and insight.
