Fearless Catholic Writing After-School Program
Catholic Literary Arts’ Fearless Writing After-School Program brings experienced educators to your school once a week to teach creative writing during fall and spring semesters.
Poetry, fiction, modern-day parables, essay— we do it all with children from third to twelfth grades.
We'll launch your students into creative flights of the imagination through mentor texts and even visual art, while sharpening their writing skills.
Our teachers will show students how to go from inspiration to written text. We'll increase confidence in the shy writers and challenge the confident writers.
All of this through sharing the power of creative expression in an environment build on the Beatitudes.
All our educators are Safe Haven-certified and have been trained to use the Fearless Writing methodology.
