    Question 6

    Is writing an important part of MSC's curriculum?

    Beginning with the very first week of school, elementary students spend time each week writing. As students progress through the program, writing requirements become more sophisticated. We expect first year students to write mini-reports on such subjects as vertebrates or continents, write poetry, or do free writing. One year the older students wrote and published a novel based on their research of South Carolina history. We have been especially pleased to have our students' writing featured in The State newspaper, Richland County Public Library publications, and other media. Many parents have expressed their appreciation of MSC's attention to writing, saying that their children had more experience writing in elementary school than in middle or high school.
