    Uncommon High School English Language Arts (ELA) teachers are passionate about literature and building an engaging, rigorous classroom culture focusing on helping all students prepare for college.

    Our teachers become experts in their course content, and have a keen sense of how to motivate and inspire high school students.

    At the heart of our English classes is an emphasis on reading and student-led discourse.

    Teachers use a variety of instructional strategies to prioritize discussion, ignite a passion for literature, and promote strong voice and agency within students.
