Senior 1 focuses on the four key components of all our English Language Arts courses:

  • Building sophisticated vocabularies

  • Improving critical/analytical writing skills

In short, Senior 1 will prepare students to excel in secondary school classroom discussions and written assignments across a range of subject areas.

Course Structure:

The Senior 1 year is separated into sections or disciplinary blocks, each of which contains a literary and essay-writing component. These blocks will focus on the following topics:

  • Russian Literature (in translation) – Persuasive Essays
  • Shakespeare and Utopia vs. Dystopia – Comparative Essays/Analytical Essays

After each disciplinary block is complete, the information learned will be applied to the subsequent one. This cumulative structure will ensure that students begin to read, think and write in an interdisciplinary manner.
