英语

Solebury's 英语 teachers are devoted to the ongoing work of striving for equity in our teaching and learning. Students are asked to probe texts and 挑战 ideas, and our goal is to establish an environment where students feel safe and emboldened to bring their authentic selves to the learning process.

We strive to provide content that both reflects and evolves the mindsets of our diverse student body and that propels the critical skills students will carry with them for a lifetime of intelligent, 通知, 善解人意, and original reading, 写作, 思考, 和行动.  

英语 is required every term. The core curriculum is supplemented by an array of electives inspired by faculty and student interest. Our honors and AP level courses are designed to 挑战 students to stretch and 成长 as thinkers and writers. These courses carry more content volume, move at a faster pace, and require mastery of prerequisite skills as well as internal motivation on the part of students in order to find success. Our hope is that the students who elect to take these demanding courses do so with a genuine love of learning and the subject matter. Students taking honors and AP classes are not guaranteed high grades, but they are guaranteed 成长th, 挑战, and enrichment if they fully eng年龄 with the material.  

Across all grade levels and designations, students are asked to write in many genres. 例子包括:

• 说明性写作
• 自由写作
• 创意写作
• 杂志写文章
• 剧本创作
• 有说服力的写作
• 诗歌

We teach 写作 as a process, and guide students through the multi-st年龄 experience of pre-写作, 编辑, 修订, 和校对. More than anything else, reading and 写作 are skills of practice, and we provide ample opportunities for students to 成长 and strengthen their abilities by doing so.
