Our English courses provide students
with a rigorous language program that develops confidence,
competence, flexibility, and enjoyment of listening, speaking,
writing, reading and thinking. Our program emphasizes and
fosters the interrelationship that exists among the language
processes. Student performance is evaluated in many ways.
Understanding is tested through discussion, critical papers
and written tests and examinations. The ability to write a
sustained, critical essay is important and helps prepare students
to achieve well in the standardized tests available to them
in the SAT and AP's. |
