Class Experience
Each class follows a structured format that builds multiple literacy skillssimultaneously. Students begin with journal writing and poetry work, thenexplore Latin and Greek root vocabulary and grammar fundamentals.
The heart of each lesson centers on carefully selected source texts coveringthe year's diverse themes. After reading aloud and discussing unfamiliarvocabulary, students create keyword outlines and practice retelling beforedrafting their own writing. Weekly standardized test practice reinforcescritical thinking and analytical skills. Any work not completed in classbecomes targeted homework.
