English
Fostering creativity, reading great works, articulating clearly, developing a love for words, appreciating language and words as good creational gifts – these are what the English program at Carver is all about. Students are invited to develop critical thinking skills and delve into the many truths about our world found in literature of all kinds: poetry, classic and modern novels, Shakespeare, and short stories. Students also gain knowledge of the characteristics and functions of various literary forms, and an understanding of how literature both represents and influences culture. They engage in a wide range of writing experiences, developing good writing technique and style. All this is taught from a solidly Christian perspective. English students have the opportunity to go on field trips to places like Bard on the Beach and the Vancouver International Writers Festival.
Social Studies
Social Studies involves the study of the past, present, and future of the human race. We offer an extensive selection of courses to examine these topics, ranging from history to our natural world, including History 12, Law 12, and Comparative Civilization 12. Social studies courses at Carver Christian High School are certainly not limited to textbook learning; students have ample opportunity to engage in hands-on studies. Videos and interactive multimedia are also an integral part of classroom learning.
