Our Curriculum

Juni English

English at Juni is crafted around creating meaningful projects that teach students how to read strategically, think critically, and write clearly. Adapted from the Common Core State Standards, we will offer classes ranging from Early Elementary to Late High School designed with flexible text sets to fit the reading level and interests of each student.

Each age level has two core courses, A and B, the first focusing on reading, analyzing, and writing fiction, the second focusing on reading, analyzing, and writing nonfiction. The first class we will be offering will cover the Middle School A curriculum. This course challenges students to master middle school level skills in reading, analyzing, and writing about literature, and at the end of each student’s course, their final project will be to craft an original piece of fiction writing.

Middle School

MSA

English Core: Middle School A

Ages 11-14

This course challenges students to master middle school level skills in reading, analyzing, and writing about literature, based on the Common Core State Standards for 6th-8th grade English/Language Arts. As students develop mastery of reading comprehension and analytical writing skills, they practice writing original fiction by employing the same elements of craft that they are learning to notice in their reading and analyze in their writing.

This course culminates in an original fiction writing project that draws on the English skills developed throughout the course. Each of Juni's core English courses is designed with flexible text sets to suit a range of reading and writing levels and student interests.
