The English curriculum covers language, reading, writing, speaking and listening, conducting research, and media studies. From the building blocks of phonics on through the ability to research topics and write informative, well-supported research reports, literacy and communication skills are thoroughly developed. This subject focuses in on literature and how to appreciate and analyze it, but also teaches texts of non-fiction so that students are literate across the curriculum.

The skills become more complex each year and students are able to do advanced work in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics and pre-Calculus in high school.

Chalk Talk: The Long ‘I’ Sound
The long ‘I’ sound is one of the vowel sounds students are introduced to at the primary grade levels. Students can distinguish this from the short ‘I’ by learning that the long ‘I’ sounds exactly like how they would say the name of the letter ‘I’ (“eye”). Words such as bike, kite, and snipe contain this sound. As is evident from these examples, words that follow a CVCV (consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel) pattern and end with an ‘E’ usually make a long ‘I’ sound; there are some exceptions, however, such as give. This is in contrast to how words with a CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) pattern generally contain a short ‘I.’ In words that have an “igh”—as in high and bright—the ‘I’ is pronounced as a long sound, while the “gh” remains silent. There are many words in which a ‘Y’ appears at the end—shy—or middle—cycle—and sounds like a long ‘I.’ Finally, “ie” sometimes sounds like a long ‘I’; examples include pie and lie. When words that end in ‘Y,’ such as cry and fry, are pluralized or made into the past tense, the ‘Y’ is replaced with an “ie” (cries and fried) and always has a long ‘I’ sound.
