Curriculum
Our program is divided into six classes: EnglishGrammar, grammar, and more grammar -- boring, right? Not in this class! At Beacon Hill, we use a variety of communicative methods to improve our students' grammatical accuracy. Through interative activities and lots of practice, students learn to be able to correct their own grammar by the time they graduate. They also get the chance to improve their reading skills by studying several short stories throughout the year and polish their pronunciation during a special unit on the sounds of English. Liberal ArtsThe purpose of this class is to expand students' critical thinking skills as well as their general knowledge of the world by providing them with a survey of the arts and sciences. A wide range of topics are covered, ranging from literature to science to comparative religion. Students do a lot of writing and basically receive a "mini university" experience.
Keyboarding and Office ComputingStudents learn the basic skill of keyboarding as the foundation for this course, designed to make a student capable and confident in handling basic office administration tasks on the computer. After developing their keyboarding skills, they move on to word processing tasks and learn the basics of Microsoft Office applications.
Business StudiesBusiness Management is taught to students to prepare them for their future role in the business world, giving them the skills necessary to become a good employee or employer. Students learn how to motivate and get along with different people, be assertive, gain an appreciation for the different positions in a business, and understand the dynamics of the various aspects of a business.
