Writing Across Subjects

In “school” and in life, writing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We write about what we learn. What excites us. What we notice. What we believe.

Our project-based classes guide your kids to think critically, engage with the world around them, and express what they know through writing.

These classes take writing beyond the traditional essay. They integrate writing with real learning in history, science, current events, personal passions, and even time in nature.

Whether your student is a budding historian, a STEM enthusiast, or a curious explorer of the natural world, these classes will help them write with insight, voice, and purpose.

• Middle School Writing: History Projects

Students choose a favorite object—from video games to fashion—and uncover its historical roots. Along the way, they build timelines, practice research, and write engaging narratives that connect the past to the present.

• Middle School Writing: Nonfiction Projects

From how-to guides to personal essays, students explore the wide world of nonfiction writing. They’ll learn to inform, explain, and express their ideas with clarity and creativity—all while developing revision and editing skills.

• Middle School Writing: Passion Projects

Your child’s favorite topic becomes their favorite writing project! Whether it’s sharks, soccer, or Star Wars, students research, reflect, and write about what they love—while learning how to organize ideas, cite sources, and revise with purpose.

• Middle School Writing: Science Projects

Curiosity leads the way! Students pick a science topic, research it, design an experiment (optional), and then share their findings in a format of their choice. Kids build research savvy, critical thinking, and polished science writing skills—perfect for portfolios or fairs.

• Nature Journaling (family class; parent posts student writing)

Step outside and let nature be your guide! In this class, students blend scientific observation with poetic expression—drawing, labeling, and writing to capture the wonder of the natural world. A gentle way to build writing habits and connect with the outdoors.

• History Writing: Historical Fiction

The pages of the past are ripe for story ideas. Join us, and combine research and imagination. Students choose a historical time period and write compelling fiction grounded in real events and settings. The perfect mix of tangible facts and fiction.
