| The Creative Writing program is a literary immersion program in which students specialize in either prose or poetry and take varied literature courses and electives, as well as workshops in either genre. The program aims to prepare students for lives as writers, artists, educators, and editors through coursework and a range of editorial and teaching opportunities. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
