Course Description

Quest for Self is an advanced (grades 11-12) course which explores the perennial quest for the self through the special perspective provided by literature. The literary perspective may be supplemented by materials from other arts or disciplines.

Note: Although this course may cover works considered to be "coming of age" stories or novels, this is not a course in the bildungsroman.
