Literature & Composition I is the first course (required) in the sequence of secondary English language arts courses required for graduation. This course develops the integrated skill set that comprises the English language arts discipline to ensure that students are on track to be college and work ready. Literature & Composition I focuses on the interpretation, evaluation, construction, and design of texts across genres and modes in a variety of real-world, academic, and disciplinary contexts while sustaining and building mastery of language applications and discipline-specific practices.

Literature & Composition II is the second course (required) in the sequence of secondary English language arts courses required for graduation. This course develops the integrated skill set that comprises the English language arts discipline to ensure that students are on track to be college and work ready. Literature & Composition II focuses on the interpretation, evaluation, construction, and design of texts across genres and modes in a variety of real-world, academic, and disciplinary contexts while sustaining and building mastery of language applications and discipline-specific practices.

Literature & Composition III is the third course in the standard pathway of secondary English language arts courses. This course develops the integrated skill set that comprises the English language arts discipline to ensure that students are on track to be college and workplace ready. Literature & Composition III provides a platform for the wide interpretation, evaluation, construction, and design of texts across genres and modes, with an emphasis on the application of these skills in a variety of real-world, academic, and disciplinary contexts.

Literature & Composition IV is the fourth course in the standard pathway of secondary English language arts course. This course develops and refines the integrated skill set that comprises the English language arts discipline to ensure that students are on track to be college and work ready, with an emphasis on the interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and application of real-world texts and communications across a wide variety of modes, genres, and disciplines

is a college level course that focuses on critical thinking, reading and writing through the study and discussion of expository, analytical and argumentative essays. It emphasizes the connection between reading and writing mature prose. Students completing this course are expected to take the AP exam.

Multicultural Literature & Composition focuses on texts by and about people of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Students explore themes of linguistic and cultural diversity by comparing, contrasting, analyzing, and critiquing communication styles and universal themes; they will make connections between works from at least three literary periods and the historical or contemporary contexts in which they were written. Students routinely engage in the integrated and recursive literacy practices that ground, shape, and inform their interpretations and constructions of texts that apply their grammar conventions, vocabulary, context, structure and style, techniques, research and analysis, and periods and movements understandings.

focuses on the writing of scripts, screenplays, and dramatic works for television shows, feature films, and theatrical productions. The students will also learn how to read and analyze literature through the lens of adapting the work to the stage or screen. Embedded credit of Advance Comp will be earned. Advanced Composition focuses on the writing processes (e.g., planning, drafting, revising). Students will focus on analyzing and producing texts for a wide variety of intended purposes, target audiences, modes, and genres. Students will engage in research and explore multiple text structures (e.g., compare-contrast, process analysis, cause and effect, exemplification, classification, definition), literary devices, and craft techniques. Advanced language skills (grammar, usage, mechanics, and syntax) are a major component of this course

is a college-level course that focuses on the reading and analysis of literary works and the writing of critical essays. Each semester is designed as an accelerated and enriching experience in analytical and critical thinking. It also pre-supposes that a student is proficient in composition. Students completing this course are expected to take the AP exam.

This course will provide many opportunities to revisit and expand the understanding of foundational algebra concepts, will employ diagnostic means to offer focused interventions, and will incorporate varied instructional strategies to prepare students for required high school mathematics courses. The course will emphasize both algebra and numeracy in a variety of contexts including number sense, proportional reasoning, quantitative reasoning with functions, and solving equations and inequalities. GSE Algebra I is the first course in a sequence of three required high school courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. The course represents a discrete study of algebra with correlated statistics applications. The purpose of the Foundations class is to address the needs of students who have traditionally struggled in mathematics by providing the additional time and attention they need in order to successfully complete their regular grade-level mathematics course without failing. Foundations of Algebra is a math credit.

This course is designed as the first course in a three-course series. Students will apply their algebraic and geometric reasoning skills to make sense of problems involving algebra, geometry, bivariate data, and statistics. This course focuses on algebraic, quantitative, geometric, graphical, and statistical reasoning. In this course, students will continue to enhance their algebraic reasoning skills when analyzing and applying a deep understanding of linear functions, sums and products of rational and irrational numbers, systems of linear inequalities, distance, midpoint, slope, area, perimeter, nonlinear equations and functions, quadratic expressions, equations and functions, exponential expressions, equations, and functions, and statistical reasoning. High school course content standards are listed by big ideas including Data and Statistical Reasoning, Probabilistic Reasoning, Functional and Graphical Reasoning, Patterning and Algebraic Reasoning, and Geometry Patterning and Spatial Reasoning.
