English Language Arts Course Offerings

English courses are designed to increase our students’ facility with reading, writing, speaking, and listening. These skills are essential to effective communication, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.

To achieve those outcomes, students practice and refine writing skills, study grammar and vocabulary, and read a variety of authors and literary genres. They engage in diverse activities ranging from cooperative learning to research and presentations.

Decisions for placement are based on class performance, teacher recommendation, student/parent selection, and test scores. Students are placed according to their potential to read and write.
