English

An Overview
English is a core subject and the language of communication and instruction in the English Departments of our school. Because English is the language of instruction, we recognize that we have an obligation to promote speaking, reading and writing skills that will enable students to access and convey information successfully in other subjects. Thus, we must teach students the skills that they will need in order to communicate with others and to make sense of their world so that they are able to operate independently.

At the same time, we hope to develop in our students a genuine interest in reading as a reader is a lifetime learner. We also hope to engender an appreciation of works of literature because they convey moral truths in the most entertaining way, and thereby enrich our lives.
