Workshops are a creative community engaged in the process of writing. They offer students time, choice, creative exploration, and discussion. They are led by excellent teachers who listen, care, and are able to coach students to develop their writing. In two weeks, students write a lot!

Students choose their writing projects, and enjoy time to sketch, draft, rewrite, and review work with peers and confer with teachers. Workshop challenges students to lift the level of their work with models and mentor texts. Teachers encourage students to use a variety of formats and show them strategies for writing for the real world.

Writing Workshop is our summer program for students entering grades 4-7. All classes are held at San Jose State University. Students will be sent a course selection form to choose classes once staffing is confirmed in mid-March. Register today to lock in your lowest rate and ensure first choice in selecting courses!
