English Department


The English Department offers an overview of literature through the ages, and a place for the girls to strengthen their skills as a writer and a critical thinker. Electives offer an opportunity to dive deeper into subjects like mythology, theater, and journalism. We often ask the questions: ‘How does this piece reflect our core values’ and ‘Who is the female protagonist?’
