English Department
Freshmen begin with Introduction to Literary Form, a challenging yet engaging course that introduces them to some of the greatest works of literature, including the study of novels, plays, short stories, and poetry, as well as fascinating contemporary works. The curriculum is designed to build upon the foundation of middle school, while helping to transition our young men to tenth grade, where the rigor of high school-level reading, writing and critical thinking starts to take shape.
During their junior and senior years, upperclassmen choose from over 10 full-year electives, specially designed to reflect the research and intellectual interests of our current faculty and, more importantly, to engage students with meaningful, interesting and cross-curricular approaches to knowledge.
