About The Class

High school English isn’t just about memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary; it’s really about figuring out how to share your thoughts. Being able to write and think critically is important, especially in the global economy. When students feel safe to express themselves, dive into different stories, and explore new ideas, they discover their own voices and become the authors of their own stories.
