Writing for High School

Get ready for high school through improving writing skills.

This course is an excellent fit for students who want to strengthen their writing skills and prepare for the demands of high school assignments. It fits students who enjoy thinking critically, shaping clear ideas, and experimenting with style and structure. With guidance, class discussions, and daily writing practice, students deepen their understanding of the writing process while building confidence in their skills.

Students write persuasive, expository, and narrative essays, exploring how organization, evidence, diction, and sentence fluency work together to create strong writing. They practice embedding quotations, crafting effective thesis statements, developing vivid imagery, and writing with more control and variety. Peer review, creative exercises, and structured revision sessions keep the class active and supportive as students refine their skills.

By the end of the course, students take home a binder filled with essays, reflections, and writing tools they can continue to use. They leave ready to tackle high-school-level writing with greater clarity, precision, and confidence.
