"I write in order to know what I think." - Flannery O'Connor

Charlotte Latin teaches writing as an academic skill and as an art form of self expression. Latin’s writing instruction focuses upon “writing across the curriculum,” so that all academic disciplines are engaged and reinforce best practices. Beginning with instruction to establish a strong foundation in grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, the faculty guides students as they progress to successively higher levels of exploration of literary forms and writing styles.

Creative writing exercises are woven into writing instruction at every grade level, from Lower School students’ diary entries to publication of the Blue Review literary magazine by Upper School students. The goal of Latin’s writing program is not only to prepare students to convey information clearly, but also to be able to express their thoughts, emotions, and convictions through the written word.
