美國維理達基督教古典式學校：第十一、十二年級人文學科教學規劃與課程列表 Veritas Classical School, Humanities Curricula Grade 11 & 12

本文專注美國維理達基督教教育的第十一、十二年級人文學科的課程列表。

在这里向大家推薦基督教古典式學校（Christian Classical School）的教學課程。學校的教學規劃（curriculum）與使用教材有一定的參考價值。希望對美國教育、在家教育、課外讀物感興趣的家長有所幫助！

我對唯理達基督教古典式學校（Veritas Classical School）的介紹和教學反思可閱讀之前的發文。

學年主題

第十一、十二年級（Grade 11 & 12）的教學以美国政治、经济、文学、歷史為主。需要注意的是，我們學校合併兩個年級教學，十年級和十二年級的學生一起上課。為避免教學內容的重複，課程分A、B兩年教學。最後這兩個學年是建立在十年的基督教古典教育上的，學生應具有良好的邏輯思維和寫作素養，以及充分的人文知識。學生會學習英語文學、美國歷史和微觀經濟學等的美國大學預修課程（Advanced Placement，縮寫AP）。

文學與詩歌 Literature & Poetry

十一、十二年級的閱讀已經為大學的學習做好準備。學生要閱讀美國文學中的經典著作，也要用學習規範的寫作（MLA Writing Style）。學生要有獨立思考、獨立研究、獨立寫作的能力。學生會備考AP English Literature and Composition。
