📖 CLASSIC AND MODERN, SECTION 4: A HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH COURSE FOR HOMESCHOOLERS

A dynamic English class that explores resistance, identity, and expression through classic poetry, powerful novels, and creative projects—perfect for homeschoolers in grades 9–10.

As a homeschooling parent, you want your high schooler to grow as a thoughtful reader, skilled writer, and critical thinker. But finding a literature class that offers real-world relevance, creative depth, and academic credit can be tough.

----------------------------------

🎓 THE SOLUTION

This 8-week English course brings together classic poetry, compelling fiction, and high-interest graphic novels to help students explore what it means to challenge norms, find voice, and express ideas clearly. Alongside engaging reading and discussion, students will complete writing assignments—culminating in a research-based essay—and creative projects that help bring literature to life.

This class can be taken on its own or as part of a full-year English 1 or English 2 curriculum. Sections 1, 2, and 3 are scheduled on the same days and times for easy planning. An Honors-level track is also available.
