Language Arts
Our Language Arts courses will help you become a critical thinker and creative storyteller. Guided by our expert instructors, you and your classmates will learn to read critically and develop your voice while writing clear and engaging works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Through fun writing projects and lively discussions and workshops with classmates from around the world, you'll elevate your writing structure and style, hone your craft, and become an adept wordsmith fluent in the literary arts.
Explore storytelling
Want to have fun reading popular stories and writing your own tales of adventure? Pen your hero’s journey and explore a diverse range of books in Behind the Mask: Superheroes Revealed, or have fun shaping your prose and experimenting with different formats and styles in Fiction and Poetry.

Take your writing to the next level! In Writing and Imagination, you can build your vocabulary and gain the tools to write your own creative fiction. You'll learn to craft compelling narratives about your own experiences in Crafting the Essay, and have fun learning new literary devices and figurative language in Writing Your World.
Meet our instructors and staff
I love that students are not here for the grade; they're here to learn. At the end of the course, I get to write about each students' progress and capture the essence of each student's performance, which I love.

There is nothing better than seeing that 'eureka' moment and the extension of that moment as students exuberantly share their thoughts.

CTY students have a contagious energy combined with a thirst for knowledge that I look forward to each summer. They remind me of why I became a teacher.
