residential options.
High School classes
We have found that students
generally increase their scores by two to three points
(difference between diagnostic test score at the beginning of
the class and the full-scale proctored test at the end of the
class).
Yes. The exception is English
literature and creative writing (each a half credit, but
students have the option of taking both for a full credit).
For English literature & composition, the homework is mostly
reading. For creative writing, the homework often involves
bringing a typed piece to class to be critiqued.>
