English language curriculum
updated as of Spring 2020

Two days a week at the STAR Language, your child’s coach will be ready to guide with assigned worksheets. 

There’s an assigned portion of reading each week, there is a portion of writing each week, a response, a summary, or an analysis of what they read. When students hand in an assignment, we look at the assignment together with the coach, we go through the grammar, content, and structure of the assignment. 

English language class breakdown
  • STAR classes are 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the age of the group:
  • 20-30 minutes spent on schoolwork help or homework from previous class/class discussion
  • 1 hour spent covering new content as well as studying a new piece of literature work, with prompted questions
  • Final 15 minutes used to summarize & provide homework

STAR aims to guide, assess and encourage your child to help maximize success inside and outside of school.

Learn about our IB English program
From grammar to graduate

The IB English curriculum focuses more on literary analysis and requires the student to be more engaged with the reading material. We go more in depth of the historical background of each text – How it influences the authors motivation. The need for self-reflection and thinking is much deeper on the student.  This program is sure to challenge and test any student who may be preforming beyond their grade level already.

STAR IB English program employs collaborative classes. The benefit of our focused class sizes is to work with students around the same level as your child, but to challenge each other with thoughts, thought process, and opinions. See how STAR can have your child engaged with school again.

Succeed beyond the classroom. Be prepared for the future, today.
