The Confident Writer

Storytelling skills and creativity are the two most prized assets in this present day and age. The ability to communicate clearly and engagingly is a transferable skill highly-valued in school and workplace.

Our systematic writing program aims to hone the students’ creative writing skills and instill their passion for writing. Students are exposed to a wide array of text types across the three genres: narrative texts, poetry and non-fiction. The courses are created and taught by teachers from top HK, UK and US universities, including Oxbridge and Ivy League schools.
