English Composition is devoted to writing that generates thought and reflection. Using long and short critical essays, numerous journal assignments, incidental commentaries, annotations, e-mails, etc., the curriculum strives to produce:


• independent writers capable of critiquing and editing their own work and the works of their peers.
• perceptive, critical readers capable of analyzing and synthesizing a broad range of texts.


Advanced and foundation programs share a “core” of common readings, and the year culminates with each student producing a Final Writing Portfolio.
