With WriteAtHome®, you can be confident your middle school students are getting the instruction, practice, and coaching they need to become capable writers, ready for high school writing.
We offer three middle school levels, roughly corresponding to grades 6 through 8 and provide both annual and semester course options as well as workshops. Generally, we recommend starting 6th graders with Middle School 1. This course, however, includes an eight-week review of basic sentence writing and paragraph construction. If your student is strong in these areas, you might consider starting with Middle School 2, which does only a cursory review of these topics at the start of the course.
Above average or advanced 5th grade students are typically capable of starting with Middle School 1. We generally don't recommend enrolling students before 5th grade.
Seventh or eight graders who are advanced writers are free to start at the high school level, but we don't recommend it. Writing coaches will challenge even excellent writers regardless of the course they are taking.

Annual Writing Courses ($549 per year)
Only offered in the fall, our annual courses run thirty-two weeks, not including holiday breaks. They are our most popular courses and are generally our first recommendation. Why? Simply, writing is a skill one develops through practice, and annual courses provide the most practice.
Our annual courses are comprehensive courses that cover a wide range of writing types, including creative, academic, and practical writing. We think students benefit the most from our annual courses.

Semester Writing Courses ($299 per semester)
Annual courses, however, just don't work for everyone. Some families may start mid-year or only discover WriteAtHome after the annual enrollment has closed. Others may want to split the investment into two payments. Our semester courses (A and B) offer the solution for those who cannot enroll in an annual course. They offer the same content as our annual courses but divided into two 16-week semesters.
All semester courses are offered twice per year — in both the fall and spring semesters — and students may start with either the A or B semester.

8-Week Writing Workshops ($199 per workshop)
If you are looking for an a la carte approach, you should consider our workshops. Like the semester courses, our workshops were derived from the content in our annual courses, but they each focus on one particular type of writing. Some examples are short story writing, essay writing, and research paper writing. If your budget or time is limited, or you are only interested in a particular type of writing skill, workshops might be the best option for you.
Workshops are offered throughout the year: five workshop sessions during the school year and two summer sessions.
