Artos Language Arts Courses

Each composition course focuses on specific literature and writing genres, which are indicated in the titles of the courses and explained in detail in the Course Descriptions. The learning materials set a firm foundation for writing essays typical of university or college level composition courses, preparing middle school and high school students for a bright academic future in higher education. Tuition includes a total of 4.5 hours of optional live instruction, offered via an introductory meeting and four weekly one-hour meetings. These live meetings consist of digital learning activities designed to teach the order and structure of composition, as well as thoughtful conversations with classmates centered around the assigned literary selections. Live sessions are recorded, so students may choose to attend in-person or watch the session at a later time. Plato's Myth of the Winged Soul: Responding to Literature through Journal Writing and Personal Narrative is the prerequisite for the other four Composition & Literature courses. The other four courses in the series can be taken in any order. Students receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the course if they achieve 80% of total points available. Parents may request a detailed transcript of the course contents to add to student portfolios and to assist with college applications. Letters of recommendation are available for students who demonstrate a strong work ethic and high skill level throughout our time together.
