*NB: While none of the books in the syllabus contains graphic or gratuitous content, as an overall rule, high-school parents should be alert for mature references and themes. At this stage we are moving beyond the level of children's books and beginning to grapple, through living books of high literary quality, in a more direct and mature way with the realities of a fallen world. It's hard to find books at an appropriate level of maturity that don't deal with those realities in one way or other. Parents concerned about their students’ encountering topics they are not ready to discuss should plan to pre-read. We have tried to flag particular texts where concerns might exist, but it is good general practice to preview reading before handing it to teenagers, and to prepare for discussions of difficult subjects.
