Creative Writing

Creative Writing students at Alice’s Garden, 2019

Our mission as the Creative Writing Department is to create students who understand the English language and how it works. We develop writers who can vacillate writing in multiple genres. We provide platforms for writing and multiple opportunities for confidence building and success. We provide high quality instruction through a writer’s workshop that is student centered and detail orientated. We aid in cultivating the voice, which is the heart of every writer.

Our Creative Writing classes cover the vast world of the written word. Designed to cover a variety of genres, Creative Writers explore their environment in poetry and prose.
