Our students become better readers, writers, speakers, and thinkers through exposure to a variety of literary works: fiction, biography, poetry, and plays.

In teaching reading, the focus is on comprehension, analysis, and synthesis-all skills that count in learning and in life. Our teacher select works by authors from many countries and cultures.

In class discussions, we encourage you to arrive at ideas independently, to share them with others, and to evaluate them.

In teaching writing, we encourage students to write for real audiences and about real subjects. Writers learn by reading, by writing, and by talking about their work. Every course emphasizes English grammar and composition.
