Our English 10 online course is a custom-built journey through literature and language arts, crafted to meet the individual needs and aspirations of each student and delivered either one-to-one or in a small-group pod. Although every iteration of this course is different, depending on the student, we generally derive the design from standards that you would find in a private school with an emphasis on world literature and analytical writing. This course might explore the vast landscapes of global literary perspectives, intertextual connections, and the nuanced craft of argumentative and persuasive writing. Each student’s course is personalized, taking into account their academic level, interests, and passions to ensure the most engaging and effective learning experience.
How Our English 10 Online Course Works
Meeting one-on-one with your own, private English language arts teacher, you will engage in hour-long, live sessions 1-2 times each week (the cadence is up to you). These collaborative, conversation-based sessions will include in-depth text analysis, detailed discussion, learning how to argue a point and take a view, and critical writing exercises. The iterative course design allows the syllabus to evolve with the student, ensuring that each lesson is as impactful as it is relevant.Our Grade 10 English Course at a Glance
While our curriculum is flexible, it is grounded in the core concepts of a traditional English 10 course found in an elite private school.

You might spend additional time honing your research skills or delving deeper into character analysis, or focusing where you need it most, with the ultimate goal of igniting your passion for great literature and honing your abilities to engage with challenging texts.Great Books
Your teacher will curate a reading list to effect a balance between topics, genres, and writing styles that appeal to you and meaty, challenging books that are considered classics or are contemporary works chosen to resonate with diverse identities and viewpoints. Some examples from our recent grade 10 English language arts courses include:- The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
- Othello by Shakespeare
- Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- Poetry by Wallace Stevens, Langston Hughes, and Ocean Vuong
