Middle + High School
BOYS WRITING

Creative Escape & Connection

Middle school brings unique challenges, and our middle school program meets the needs of students in the midst of this formative time. TIWP creates a supportive environment for students to escape into the creative writing process, where they can be playful and find joy in the stories and worlds they create. We also provide a safe space for students to address the challenges they may be facing through the writing process. Teachers encourage and model authenticity, peer support, and self confidence. Each session involves an inspirational reading, a writing prompt, and time to share and receive feedback.

As with all our programs, we use the Amherst Writing Method, a methodology rooted in the belief that everyone is a writer, that all feedback be positive, and that our writing voice will continually grow clearer and stronger, the more it is validated and encouraged.

The Courage To Write

This creative writing program is designed to teach high school boys the principles of effective storytelling, empowering them tell their story in a strong, authentic way. Through this experience, boys will begin to develop their own unique identity, both as writers and thinkers. The more fluidly boys are able to communicate, the more successful they will be in all areas of their lives, particularly in writing their college application essays.
