Institution Calendar: Excelsior Classes Calendar
Prerequisite: As this is a writing-intensive course in accordance with LETU’s course syllabus, we ask that parents submit a  sample of the student's writing prior to the start of the class. The sample should be at least 250 words, typed, double-spaced, and formatted in proper MLA style. The teacher is looking for an informative piece, not a narrative or personal reflection. The purpose of this writing sample is not to prevent enrollment but to help the teacher evaluate the student's readiness for the course, as it assumes familiarity with essay writing and citation practices. If you have any questions regarding placement, please contact the teacher directly.
