What We Do
At the heart of ÉcritureSTL is the desire to create strong thinkers and stronger communicators. The ability to express oneself is not innate, it is a process born of necessity and forged in practice. The ability to express oneself well (e.g., completely and articulately) requires a commitment to habitual practice and the acquisition of language. Acquisition of language, practiced by reading good writing and modeling said language, is one of the most important tenets to great writing. Because politics is always involved in the process of education, we understand that the acquisition of a political language is paramount to understanding and moving within the world. ÉcritureSTL is committed to helping students find their own voice through writing and communication.
Passive education creates passive students and passive people--ÉcritureSTL strives to stir the pot and awaken the potential lying dormant within. Having the ability to become active thinkers and communicators empowers learners to move through the world on offense and not defense.
