English Department

English courses stress critical thinking, problem solving and analysis—skills required for success in all areas. Students will become critical consumers of text who can communicate effectively. All courses address standards in reading, writing, speaking, listening, language and research. English courses allow students to explore increasingly complex literary and nonfiction texts that allow them to “better able to imagine what’s going on in the lives of people" (Obama).

In addition to the comprehensive core curriculum, the Providence English Department offers a number of electives.

(**All students meet with their designated counselor to review and discuss course requests.)
