English

Mission

The mastery of verbal skills is a lifetime task, so as students move from grade to grade at NMH, the aims of the English courses they take remain essentially the same. At every level, students study poetry, prose, fiction and nonfiction, and drama. They write many personal and expository papers and participate actively in group discussions. As students advance, the literature studied becomes more demanding, and writing gradually shifts from the personal toward the analytical. At each level, however, the same skills are developed: reading and listening with discrimination, sensibility, and appreciation; writing with precision and clarity; and speaking with honest conviction.
