SCAPA Literary Arts at Lafayette High School

Literary Arts Vision

Literary Arts at SCAPA is a progressive, creative, and immersive program that prepares students to pursue writing or a writing-related life path after high school. We focus on creating young writers who have a developed, unique voice and have a strong grasp of literary tradition. Literary arts is designed to enhance technique and support artists who have a passionate interest in writing. Students are challenged to create their own work as well as read widely. Writing skills are built through creating and presenting or publishing works six times a year in a variety of genres, mediums, and forms. The program's blend of writers and access to diverse mentors across the commonwealth offers our young writers the opportunity to explore their craft in a continually evolving, rigorous, and contemporary environment.
