English
The student of English at Cheverus High School will learn to use those critical thinking and language skills which foster a love of literature and ensure competence in critical reading, writing, research, listening and speaking. Such competence is a basis for the more important goal-that the study of literature, reflecting diverse cultural traditions, must enhance the graduates' ability to make future choices based upon the Profile of the Jesuit Graduate at Graduation. The literature and language skills taught will ultimately present a compelling case for students to lead morally, empathetic lives as men and women for others.
