Bishop Reicher takes pride in its robust and interconnected humanities program, which begins in middle school and extends across various disciplines such as reading, writing, literary analysis, and history. Our humanities curriculum places a strong emphasis on the art of storytelling, encouraging students not only to listen and read but also to actively engage in creating, interpreting, analyzing, and synthesizing stories. From contemporary narratives to tales from ancient civilizations, students explore the rich tapestry of human experiences.
At the heart of our high school program, the humanities curriculum serves as a cornerstone, offering a deep dive into world literature and the history of ancient cultures. This immersive approach ensures that students comprehensively understand the global human experience from the earliest civilizations to the present day.
One distinctive feature of our humanities program is the seamless integration of literature and writing. Students are exposed to a diverse range of complex texts and actively engaged in developing both their creative and critical writing skills. This dynamic interplay between literature and writing enhances students' ability to express themselves eloquently, think critically, and articulate their ideas precisely.
Bishop Reicher's humanities program goes beyond traditional boundaries, providing students with a holistic and enriching educational experience that prepares them for a lifetime of intellectual exploration and meaningful expression.
