In addition to classroom examinations of American and world literature-from the Bible to James Baldwin, Shakespeare to Ha Jin, Tolstoy to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie-students spend time mastering writing as a craft, honing essays, and exploring poetry and creative prose. Thanks to our location in Concord-the very town where Emerson, Thoreau, Alcott, Hawthorne, and Fuller transformed the American literary tradition-we offer our students unique firsthand access to the legacy of the 19th-century transcendentalists.
Beyond the classroom, opportunities for writing abound, in a variety of thriving writing clubs and in student-run publications. In the eleventh and twelfth grades, CA students pursue highly specialized, college-level electives. Our ninth and tenth grades read a common set of texts drawn from ancient and modern classics of world literature, sharing in a rigorous, core reading experience.
