From kindergarten to grade eight, students learn to appreciate great works of art, architecture, literature, and poetry. Students in grades nine through twelve, look at written works, art works, architecture, rituals, social groups, and political institutions as examples of the creative power of the human mind and spirit. Expanded fields of study include linguistics, archaeology, law, history of religions, and the humanistic approach to science technology. Students' writing serves as an expressive response to the works of others, as well as a major way of forming their own ideas.
