HOW WE WILL SUCCEED

In a small school with a culture that values good teaching, creative programming, and broad community/parent engagement, students achieve great things. We have created a small, personalized and intellectually demanding school. Reducing our school size, however, is not on its own sufficient to achieve the positive academic gains and social outcomes that we envision. We strive to ensure that you will receive an excellent education.

 
AP ENGLISH LANGUAGE and COMPOSITION

The AP English Language and Composition course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts—including images as forms of text— from a range of disciplines and historical periods.
