Grade Eight

Grade-eight students use this course as a primary avenue in the preparation of applications for secondary schools, including the drafting and revising of personal essays. Additionally, grade-eight students focus on contemporary issues in the U.S., including abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia, and participate in formal debates on these contentious topics. Students move into a study of advanced rhetoric and learn how to construct an argument based on logical reasoning, emotional appeals, and argument through character.
