High School Accelerator: English, Research & Information Literacy
Written Communication and Presentation | Interpretation and Analysis | Information Management
Course Overview
Given today’s fast-evolving landscape of language and information, we offer two engaging courses designed to strengthen students’ abilities in English expression and information literacy: HSA English, and HSA Research & Information Literacy. As students move through high school and anticipate more essays, research papers and written assessments, these courses are designed to enhance their confidence and ability in both written and oral communication, while also equipping them with the tools to navigate today’s vast and complex ‘information superhighway’.
HSA English
Through the reading and analysis of a range of texts, students will learn to express their ideas with coherence, creativity, and academic integrity. This course focuses on critical reading and writing skills, with attention to vocabulary, grammar, form, structure, and style. Students will engage in both creative and academic writing, as well as oral presentations, to build confidence and clarity in communication.
HSA Research & Information Literacy
In an age where AI-generated content is increasingly prevalent, this course teaches students to think critically about the credibility and relevance of data.

The sessions were extremely helpful since they gave me a basic understanding of the topic and layer foundation for me to improve and adapt my language and my style of writing. I am now more confident about my journal writing, article writing, poem writing and comprehension skills.
