Stories are a fundamental part of the Language Arts program throughout the Grade School, from creation to mythologies and legends of ancient cultures, progressing to stories of historical events. These are the contexts in which grammar and spelling are learned, further enriched by the students’ artwork, glowing on the pages of the main lesson books. Poetry, creative writing, drama, research skills and selected children’s literature are also components of the rich Language Arts program, reinforced through regular skills lessons. From the early grades, each class generally performs a full-length play each year, culminating in a major production in Grade Eight.
