Flagship High School Course

FEATURED PROGRAM FOR SCHOOLS

Take the 12-Paper Plunge 

The 12-Paper Plunge is an approach to teaching writing at the high school level that takes the emphasis off composition course content and classroom instruction and places it instead on a method of assigning and grading papers in the humanities. It works because it enables teachers to set clear, consistent expectations, and allows students to receive the practice and reinforcement they need.

The 12-Paper Plunge aims to have students writing at a college level by the end of a 12-paper cycle.
