Honors English 9 is the foundational course for the high school years. The regular English 9 curriculum is enriched, and expectations of students are higher. Students develop their reading and critical-thinking skills through the study of the main literary genres. Vocabulary study is independent.

Written English skills are taught in several ways: structures for achieving sentence variety are practiced, and students write various essays and creative pieces. Students also have the opportunity to develop their oral English skills through speeches and presentations.
