For those students who qualify, the Advance Program offers an opportunity to follow a stimulating curriculum designed for the academically talented. This guide for eleventh grade English focuses on the study of literature which concerns itself with the individual's attempt to maintain personal dignity in the struggles against universal forces--social forces, forces within the individual, and prejudice. Particular attention is given to economic, political, social, and philosophical movements which have influenced American writers throughout the country's literary development and to writers selected for their unique, innovative use of topics and styles that distinguish American literature from other Western literature.
