The courses that are grouped together under the general heading of English are those that deal with the development of man’s thought processes, especially his imagination, through various forms of communication. These include the topics of literature, grammar, composition, and speech. First and foremost, the English curriculum will, in all forms, emphasize a Christian approach to the comprehension, interpretation, and sympathetic consideration of the thoughts of our fellow man. Students must acquire the various forms and techniques of communicating thoughts and feelings, and then must apply these basics to both understand and consider the communications and concerns of other people and cultures, past and present, and to transmit their own ideas, concerns and emotions to others. As these skills are learned and applied, students will gain confidence and self-awareness in their ability to encourage others in the faith and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
