Teaching high school English since 2002
Students are encouraged to push the boundaries of critical thinking by questioning, analyzing, and challenging conventional perspectives. Intellectual curiosity is nurtured and students are empowered to explore complex ideas from multiple angles. The goal is to equip students with the skills and confidence to think critically, creatively, and independently, now, and always.
