English

(Literature/ Grammar/ Composition)

Great books develop character and a growth mindset. We intentionally choose books that help students:

• Increase in wisdom and virtue,

• Boost reading comprehension,

• Cultivate moral courage,

• Emulate the best writers,

• Enrich the vocabulary, and

• Develop cultural literacy.

English grammar, usage, and composition are taught each year. In grades 3-5, students learn Belmont's systematic phonics program, designed to produce early, fluent readers and good spellers.
