Language Arts
In addition to reading and mathematics, the core curriculum branches to language arts, science, and social studies. The language arts program consists of three main components:
- Grammar
- DOL (Daily Oral Language)
- Writing Skills
A personal writing portfolio is begun when a child enters the Lower School. Each year personal writing samples are added to show a progression and growth. This writing portfolio is a valuable assessment tool as it travels with the student throughout his or her career at WCDS.
