本文專注美國基督教教育的第十一、十二年級人文學科的課程列表。
在这里向大家推薦基督教古典式學校(Christian Classical School)的教學課程。學校的教學規劃(curriculum)與使用教材有一定的參考價值。希望對美國教育、在家教育、課外讀物感興趣的家長有所幫助!
學年主題
第十一、十二年級(Grade 11 & 12)的教學以美国政治、经济、文学、歷史為主。需要注意的是,我們學校合併兩個年級教學,十年級和十二年級的學生一起上課。為避免教學內容的重複,課程分A、B兩年教學。最後這兩個學年是建立在十年的基督教古典教育上的,學生應具有良好的邏輯思維和寫作素養,以及充分的人文知識。學生會學習英語文學、美國歷史和微觀經濟學等的美國大學預修課程(Advanced Placement,縮寫AP)。
文學與詩歌 Literature & Poetry
十一、十二年級的閱讀已經為大學的學習做好準備。學生要閱讀美國文學中的經典著作,也要用學習規範的寫作(MLA Writing Style)。學生要有獨立思考、獨立研究、獨立寫作的能力。學生會備考AP English Literature and Composition。
