Literacy (also known as English)

English and Reading classes teach literacy and practical skills. While most classes are taught in current-era American English, some may also include historic versions of the language, and Fur-Side inflection depending on the needs and overall course purpose. Many of these classes have field trips to relevant locations or events, and some sponsor or are supplimented by extra-curricular clubs.

Basic English Middle level spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and literary use of the English language
Journalism Techniques for recording conversations, objective observation, interview tactics, and editorial writing, in addition the school newspaper is published weekly by this class
Fur Side Studies Specifically focused on non-human topics and literature, also suppliments the Journalism team with Morph/Kin interests
