Because 90% of our graduates attend post-secondary institutions, STMC’s English courses designed to help students develop into imaginative thinkers, powerful analysts, cogent writers, and informed citizens. Our approach to an intensive scrutiny of some of the world’s greatest literature is the key to unlocking academic excellence. By promoting fine writing, keen powers of analysis, and a true love of speaking, we allow students to explore the world of literature through their own experiences. Throughout their time at STMC, students learn to develop their rhetorical crafts and leave as assertive and sophisticated speakers.
Additionally, the English Department wants to demonstrate to students the value of live performances, thus we arrange visits by theatre companies to the school for grades 8, 9 and 10, while the grade 11’s study and attend a performance of a Shakespeare play at Bard on the Beach.
