The photojournalism curriculum requires students to track the daily progress of their plants and relate it to their own growth processes.  Students learn to write for a variety of purposes, while they build their organizational thinking skills. The Debate program invites students to present their own research-based ideas, listen to the ideas of others, and develop analytical and persuasive skills in the context of public speaking.
