G7-8 inspirED Reader & Writer: US Edition
Secondary( G7-12) English Program
In the secondary phase of education, the academic focus and needs of students become more specific. Our courses provide students with targeted instruction to meet the knowledge requirements for many different senior secondary examinations, including the IGCSE, IBDP, and AP.
Students are offered opportunities to read, analyze, and critique challenging literary and non-literary texts so that they can develop transferable skills for school and beyond. Additionally, many parents consider boarding school, so our courses provide students with the rigorous knowledge that
will allow them to succeed in these contexts.
We also develop course materials to suit the text selections of individual schools.
Our program has had excellent results because of our teachers’ decades of experience teaching senior certificate examinations, our demanding text selections, which develop intellectual, aesthetic, and character growth, and our insistence that students grapple with important and interesting ideas that will allow them to continue learning in the future.
