Future Communicators
Creative & Competitive Writing
Clear sentences first. Then a voice of their own.
Overview
Good writing starts with the basics: a wide vocabulary, correct grammar and paragraphs that hold together. Once those are in place, students have more freedom to experiment.
Classes mix creative pieces, such as stories and descriptive writing, with structured essays. Students also learn to read closely and explain what makes a piece of writing work, and those who are interested can prepare entries for writing competitions.
What students learn
- A wider vocabulary and stronger grammar
- Essays with a clear structure

How classes run
