The Besant Hill School English Department provides a rigorous education in the reading, comprehension, and contemplation of literature through writing and discourse.

As a dedicated preparatory school, our students are required to write, revise, and edit works of both creative and academic writing. Additionally, courses put a special focus on the techniques of proper research writing strategies. The literature covered in our courses spans the globe and the decades, and students acquire an understanding and appreciation for all types of writing and genres. In addition, our English courses cover vocabulary learning, grammatical studies, and emphasize the importance of class discussion.
