GRADES: 6-8 (16 lessons, 2 hours per week)

What would it mean for your child to finish a novella before high school? Over the course of Creative Writing Portfolio 6-8, each student writes a novella of their own, with expert guidance through:

• voice
• character
• world building
• plot
• point of view
• revision
• reading aloud
• …and more!

How often have you heard that your child “has great ideas but struggles to develop them” or “needs to find their own voice”? This workshop is built to address both.

Each class opens with real literature, from Morrison to Poe, and students write every week with feedback from a professional writer. Our instructors have noticed something encouraging, too: once students learn the process of creative writing, they reach for a chatbot less often, because they are invested in ideas that are genuinely their own.
