Featured Program
Take the 12-Paper Plunge!
The 12-Paper Plunge is a curriculum-free writing and thinking program for high school students that integrates writing with the humanities and aims to have high school students writing at a college level by the end of a 12-paper cycle.
It is founded on three basic tenets:
01
Writing is thinking.
02
Therefore, writing is best taught alongside the humanities at the high school level.
03
If you want students to show insight in their papers, you have to give them something deep to see into.

“Ms. Finnigan, I…reminisced on that year in Ancient Greek Literature [2012-13]. I will truly never forget going into your class at 13 years old hating writing and emerging saying that it is one of my favorite things. Fast forward 13 years later, and I now hold an English degree from Holy Cross, am about to embark on a part-time Master's in Public Policy at Georgetown, and I am frequently told at work that my greatest strengths are writing and synthesizing information -- something I credit you for teaching me how to do. .”
