In the English Department, students and teachers work together at the Harkness table, where teachers often play the role of participant facilitator. Students read a variety of challenging texts representing diverse perspectives to promote critical thinking and stimulate reflection. These include prose—both fiction and nonfiction—drama and poetry. In partnership with reading texts closely and writing across a range of genres, students cultivate increasingly dynamic speaking and listening skills. All courses are designed and taught to enable students to develop their standards-based skills in all four pillars of our program: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
