Colegio Las Cumbres offers a senior literature course taught by Patricia Chujman. The course focuses on introducing students to literary devices through the analysis of poems and short stories. It covers three terms: the first on literary devices and close reading of texts, the second on comparing and contrasting poems and prose, and the third has students writing longer essays analyzing provided poems and stories in preparation for their exams.
