Emphasis on Writing

Our students are offered a variety of opportunities to build their writing skills. One of the on-going creative writing exercises given to Middle School students is timed writing with fun prompts from which they write a short creative story or poem. The students' goal is to be published in the monthly Pendleton Middle School Journal. 

In addition to their regular language arts classes, our High School students showcase their journalistic and creative writing talents in the Pendleton Panther monthly school periodical, the Panther Blog, and the Pendleton Yearbook.  By the time they are seniors, they are well prepared for those challenging essays required for college applications!

 

What our Parents Say...

 

I'm very happy that my son has learned to manage his learning disabilities with his academic requirements along with the rigorous sports schedule. And I'm proud that he has done this successfully, thanks to the help of a caring and knowledgeable staff.  

-- Parent of a 9th grade student

Pendleton students are also students of one of the IMG Academies - The David Leadbetter Golf Academy, The Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, the Soccer Academy, the Basketball Academy, the Swimming Academy, or the Baseball Academy. Bringing their competitive focus to the classroom, they strive for success. This is why several of our students have been accepted to ivy league and other selective colleges and universities like Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, The University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, Wake Forest University, Northwestern University, The University of Southern California, and UCLA.
