Rites of Passage and Coming of Age: Exploring Childhood and Adolescence through Literature and Composition
This community is designed to enhance student understanding of child growth and development. The Education class covers the stages of development from birth to adolescence with an emphasis on the "Rites of Passage" and the "Coming of Age". The English class will incorporate these themes through writing assignments, discussion and critical analysis of short stories and poems.

Exploring Life's Ultimate Questions
"All men and women by nature yearn for knowledge," says Aristotle in the first sentence of his Metaphysics. In this cluster, we will cultivate this yearning for knowledge by exploring some of life's ultimate questions: What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? What is the good or virtuous life? What is justice? We will probe possible answers to these questions in the works of great thinkers and by participating in genuine discussion with our peers. For those of you who are driven by question, this class is for you.
