Reading & Writing

Literacy begins in the earliest grades with a print- and language-rich environment. As they progress through the lower school, students learn the fundamentals of reading and writing alongside strategies for deep comprehension, critical interpretation, and effective communication. 

Beginning in 6th grade, reading and writing are taught with social studies in humanities classes. Humanities focuses on critical thinking, analysis, and communication skills, fostering empathy and understanding of different perspectives. 

Curricula used throughout lower and middle school include Writers Workshop, Foundations, Structured Word Inquiry, Learning Without Tears, Wordly Wise, and Word Work.
