Regardless of the girl’s future ambitions, the ability to master various kinds of writing – expository, narrative, persuasive, descriptive and creative – is essential for achieving academic and career success. In the age of the 140-character tweet, Maryvale is committed as ever to producing excellent writers and communicators.
