A Message From The Chair

English is a rich and purposeful vocation that equips you to interpret literature, communicate truth, and engage the imagination with wisdom and grace. Students are invited to enter the great conversation of literature as both attentive readers and insightful creators. At Geneva, we see the study of literature and writing as a sacred calling—to glorify God, serve others, and offer redemptive insight to both the church and the world through faithful reading and creative expression.
