Language Arts

The many standards and benchmarks that are defined in our school’s English language Arts curriculum can be summarized and encompassed in the following, which can be considered the program’s main objectives:

     A) To raise the level of students’ English fluency (expressed through speaking, listening, reading and writing) in order to eventually attain a mastery of the English language.

   B) To adequately prepare students for the rigors of college.

     C) To help students prepare to take standardized tests such as the ACT, the SAT and the TOEFL.

From the time they become freshmen to the day they graduate, students in the High School English classes work in four areas on a daily basis:

Literature: Study and analysis of various works
Reading: Study and analysis of various texts in the English class textbook
Grammar: Study and review of grammatical concepts and rules
Writing: Preparation of a variety of texts
