English Program

Welcome to the English Program at Lipscomb Global School, where we cultivate a love for language, literature, and critical thinking. Our English curriculum is designed to develop students’ reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills while fostering an appreciation for diverse literary traditions and perspectives.

Philosophy

At Lipscomb Global School, we believe that language is the cornerstone of communication and critical thinking. Our English program is grounded in the principles of literacy, communication, and analytical reasoning. We strive to empower students to become effective communicators, independent thinkers, and lifelong learners.

Curriculum Highlights

Literature Studies: Our curriculum features a diverse selection of literary works from various genres, time periods, and cultures. Students explore classic and contemporary literature, engage in close reading and analysis, and develop critical thinking skills through discussions, essays, and projects.

Writing Workshop: We believe that writing is a powerful tool for self-expression and communication. Our writing workshop approach emphasizes the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting to revising and publishing. Students explore different forms of writing, including narrative, expository, persuasive, and creative writing.

Language Arts: Our language arts curriculum focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and language conventions. Students learn to use language effectively and correctly in various contexts, developing the skills necessary for clear and coherent communication.

Speaking and Listening Skills: Effective communication involves not only writing but also speaking and listening. Our English program incorporates opportunities for oral presentations, debates, discussions, and collaborative learning experiences that help students develop confidence and fluency in spoken language.
