- The aim of the English Department is to
promote an appreciation of the wealth and subtleties of language;
to encourage independent thought; to promote an enjoyment of
and interest in literature; and to develop traditional skills
in written and oral expression. Specifically, this is done by
introducing students to all genres of literature and engaging
them in critical and independent analysis of works of literary
merit. Furthermore, students will gain an international perspective
through comparative study of works from the canon of World Literature.
-
-
- English 1
- Grade 9
Skills developed in this course are perceptive reading, accurate
writing and the effective use of language. The course stresses
enrichment of vocabulary, grammatical and syntactical accuracy,
editing and revision. Students will create a Portfolio of writing
using the four forms of discourse, which allows them to develop
skills in both expository and creative writing. Study of the
novel, short story, poetry and drama offers students a foundation
in literary analysis.
-
- English 2
- Grade 10
Building on skills developed in English 1, this course focuses
on language skills and grammatical structures, which are increasing
in complexity and depth. Vocabulary and grammar are taught through
the study of literature and students begin to experiment with
developing their own written style and technique. Logical thinking
and oral skills are strengthened through class discussion, as
well as presentations and dramatic interpretation. Literature
in this course is drawn from the canon of American Literature,
but also includes Macbeth by William Shakespeare and poetry from
the Romantic Age (Keats, Shelley and Byron). Students also read
non-fiction and news publications.

- Grade 11; IB A1, A2, HL1, SL1
This course serves as the first year of the IB English Language
A1/A2 program and therefore includes the study of literature
prescribed by the International Baccalaureate. In keeping with
the philosophy of the English Department, the literature is drawn
from various cultures, periods and genres providing a rich background
of knowledge for students. Student coursework includes oral presentations,
creative writing assignments, analytical essays and commentaries.
These are assessed according to the criteria set by the IB, which
require a knowledge and understanding of the text, logical structure
and presentation of ideas, depth of analysis and a fluency and
precision in language. The rigor of this course is measured by
the texts studied: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Death of a
Salesman by Arthur Miller, Beowulf, King Lear by Shakespeare,
Antigone by Sophocles and by Anouilh, 1984 by Orwell.

-
- The study of a foreign language has always
been an essential part of St. Stephen's curriculum, as is appropriate
in a school situated at the crossroads of many cultures. The
Language Department believes that the knowledge of a foreign
language is a skill which is an essential asset for any individual
in our modern age. It also feels strongly that such a study will
contribute greatly, giving students a more acute awareness of
language as a means of expression and communication, to broaden
their outlook on other cultures and consequently to enhance their
capacity for expressing themselves. Placement of new students
in the appropriate level is determined through interview and
a writing sample.
-
-
- Italian Conversation
-
- The main goal of this class is to develop
proficiency for beginners. Students acquire a solid linguistic
base on which to build communication skills. Grammar and vocabulary
are taught in an interactive manner. The teaching points are
practiced through the use of short dialogues, drills, exercises
and frequent field trips. This course meets twice a week for
a semester and is worth 1/4 credit.

- Classical Studies includes courses in
both the classical languages and in the culture and history of
the Greek and Roman worlds. Four consecutive years of Latin are
available, leading to IB qualifications. The study of classical
languages and civilization forms an integral part of the curriculum
of St. Stephen's School, for we believe that not only do the
classics provide the traditional standards of academic excellence
to which the school is committed, but that we have a particular
responsibility in Rome to encourage our students to appreciate
and understand the basis of Western culture. As the political,
literary and artistic center of the ancient Roman world, Rome
provides a living background to the pursuit of more historical
studies and enables students to see both its inheritance from
the Greek world and its legacy to our own. Field trips in all
courses provide an active engagement with the immediate environment.
Latin may be taken to satisfy the language requirement, but also,
because of its broader cultural nature, Latin 1 taken in grade
9 may be taken in place of Roman Topography.
-
- Roman
Topography
- Grade 9
This course, unique to St. Stephen's School, gives students the
opportunity to learn about Roman history and society through
direct study of the monuments and museums of Rome. Within a chronological
framework, students learn to look at Roman art and architecture
as reflections of the social, political, economic, religious
and artistic life of the time. St. Stephen's central location
allows regular weekly field trips to form the basis of the course.
-
- Classical Greek and Roman
Studies (CGRS)
- Grades 11/12 IB SL
This course explores, within a historical framework, aspects
of the literary, artistic, philosophical and political life of
the civilizations of the classical world. The first semester
is devoted to a study of Greek civilization, focusing on 'Greeks
at war' through the works of Homer, Thucydides and Euripides,
while the second semester concentrates on the Roman world, with
particular emphasis on the late Republic and Augustan Rome. Field
trips are made where appropriate.
-
-
- Latin
1
-
- Latin 1 provides an introduction to the
language and culture of ancient Rome and its empire. Modern methods
are used to rapidly and effectively develop the reading ability
of the student. Grammar and vocabulary are introduced through
readings rather than as isolated elements in the language. The
readings center on the Roman world of the 1st century B.C., introducing
students to aspects of Roman civilization such as religion, politics,
literature and education.
-
-
- Latin 2
- IB SL1
-
- The reading in the second year consolidates
and expands both the grammatical and cultural knowledge attained
in the first year. More complex grammatical forms and constructions
are introduced through the readings which, at this level, focus
on the breakdown of the Roman Republic and the creation of the
Empire under Augustus. Selections from Latin authors, both poetry
and prose, are read towards the end of the year.
-
-
- Latin 3
- IB SL2, HL1
In the third year, Latin students develop their abilities to
translate, to analyze and to appreciate the writings of specified
Latin authors (this year the epic poet Vergil and the satirist

-
- The History Department offers courses
which fall into three general categories:
1-a core of historical courses focused on Rome, Italy, Western
Europe and the Mediterranean;
2-courses in regional or non-European histories and civilizations
of special relevance and interest to our students and faculty
- 3-internationally-oriented studies aimed
at understanding the complexities, tensions and workings of the
contemporary world.
Two courses in the first category are required of most ninth
and tenth graders. The rest are upper-level electives for eleventh
and twelfth graders, a number of which prepare students for Advanced
Placement examinations or for the International Baccalaureate.
Three credits are necessary in the History department for graduation.
Economics may count for one credit. The history courses introduce
students to the fundamentals of historical writing and research
and provide exposure to a variety of primary and secondary source
materials. A wealth of archaeological, artistic and historical
evidence is dealt with through regular field trips.
-

- This course is required of all ninth graders.
See course description under Classical Studies.
-
-
- Medieval/Renaissance History
- Grade 10
-
- This course is a survey of European and
Mediterranean history from the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Students are introduced to the question of how and why the ancient
Mediterranean world of the Roman Empire was transformed into
that of Christian medieval Europe, and how early modern European
civilization began to emerge from its medieval matrix. Students
will be initiated into some of the ideas and techniques of historical
thinking and will be provided with basic knowledge invaluable
for their personal culture. Frequent field trips are especially
important and exploit Rome's role as the key documentary city
for this phase of history.
-
-
- United States History
- Grades 11/12 AP
Emphasis is placed on the evolution and development of American
political, social, economic and cultural traditions from colonial
times to the present. Attention is given to the ways in which

emphasis is given to clas sical Roman, Renaissance and Baroque
art works which can be seen in Rome. Students may choose to prepare
for the AP History of Art examination.
-
-
- Renaissance Art in Rome
- (First Semester)
- Grades 11/12
The course examines the painting, sculpture and architecture
of the Early and High Renaissance in the city of Rome between
1420 (when the papacy returned to Rome after a century of exile)
and 1550. Slide lectures and weekly field trips will pay particular
attention to the roles art, as well as urban planning, played
in transforming the tattered medieval town into a city once again
worthy of the great name of Rome. The personalities and policies
of particular popes who began and continued this transformation
will be accompanied by other significant patrons of the visual
arts. Site visits will include such major Roman museums as the
Vatican and the Capitoline Hill as well as churches, palaces,
and the network of Roman streets and squares.
One aim of the course is to help students see the patrons of
Rome's Renaissance as they saw themselves, to have students react
to specific artistic projects as Romans did in the 15th and 16th
centuries.
-
-
- Baroque Art in Rome -
(Second Semester)
- Grades 11/12
The course examines the origins and development of Baroque
painting, sculpture and architecture in their natal city, Rome.
Attention will focus on particular geniuses of the new style,
including Caravaggio, Bernini, Borromini and Pietro da Cortona
, many of whose works still occupy their original locations in
Rome.
Weekly field trips will accompany classroom slides as students
are encouraged to examine closely, with their own eyes, the evolution
of the Roman Baroque style as a unique and distinctive event
in European history. Local custom, politics, and the personalities
of such specific patrons as popes, cardinals, and Roman nobility
will receive particular attention. The opportunities the city
of Rome offers as a classroom will be extensively explored.

Studies
- Grades 11/12 IB SL
This course is an offering under Classical Studies but may count
toward fulfillment of the History requirements.
-
-
- Modern European History
- Grades 11/12 AP, IB SL1, HL1
This is a study of European history from the early Italian Renaissance
to World War I. The early modern period is dealt with in a fairly
rapid survey, with certain topics studied in greater depth. Most
time is devoted to understanding the history and civilization
of XVIII and IXX century Europe. Geographically the focus is
on western and central Europe, with as much attention as possible
to Italy. Russia and the Balkans are included for especially
significant developments, and though the emphasis is continental,
the often critical role of Great Britain is recognized and studied.
The course follows the main outlines of political and diplomatic
history, and considerable attention is given to cultural, social
and economic issues. The evolution of historical thought is the
principal intellectual theme to be followed. Some students may
choose to prepare for the AP European History examination.
- Contemporary History
- Grade 12 IB SL2, HL2
This course covers major world historical events since 1890.
The topics covered are the main ones emphasized in the IB History
Examination. Particular emphasis is placed on the inter-war period
and the Second World War, as well as the Cold War and East-West
relations up to 1980. The course focuses on Western and Eastern
Europe, including Russia, though events in other parts of the
world, particularly Asia and the Middle East are surveyed.
-
-
- Islamic History and Civilization
- Grades 11/12 IB SL
This course is a survey of Islamic history and civilization from
its
pre-Islamic origins in Arabia and the Fertile Crescent to the
emergence of the Ottoman Turks, Safavid Iran and the Mughals
in the Indian subcontinent. The emphasis is on early and "medieval"
Islam in the central lands: from Egypt to Central Asia. Though
the framework is chronological and political, equal or more attention
is given throughout the year to Islam as a religion, to the human
and natural environment, to literary and philosophical traditions,
and to the visual arts, especially architecture. The aim is to
present a balanced and sympathetic view of a great civilization.
The nature of Islamic history and its Middle Eastern setting
also make frequent reference to recent or contemporary situations
inevitable and can make them more comprehensible as well.
