English Department

The English Department seeks to help students learn to reflect God’s image by developing proficiency in the different areas of communication – writing, listening, speaking, reading, and viewing. Such communication involves critical thinking which is essential to the development of Christian values.

The school's curriculum embodies Seventh-day Adventist standards, ensuring that all students are literate and can engage successfully in reading, discovering, creating, and analyzing spoken, written, electronic, and visual texts. This curriculum reflects multiple perspectives of diverse spiritual, civic, and social communities and make meaningful connection within language arts, and between language arts and other fields.

An education of this kind imparts more than academic knowledge. It is a balanced development of the whole person to prepare learners for earthly and heavenly citizenship.
