Our curriculum balances the classic literatures of the past with the varied idioms of the present.
English classes tend to be small and informal.
We urge each student to discover his or her style in reading subtle and complex texts, in writing clear and persuasive prose, and in thinking and speaking metaphorically as well as logically about life's important issues. Each day we carry books, cassettes, videotapes, and photocopies galore into overheated classrooms hoping this class, this hour will advance our understanding a step further. We love literature and we love teaching. We limit most classes to twenty-five students. Writing seminars, first-year seminars and senior seminars stop at fifteen.
