Michael Clay Thompson (MCT) Language Arts Curriculum

Recommended Ages
The MCT curriculum is designed for advanced learners roughly ages 8–18, with levels that progress from early elementary through high school. Because it’s concept-driven rather than grade-based, placement depends on a student’s readiness and ability, making it ideal for gifted, 2e, and advanced students who are ready to think deeply about language.

3rd-12th Grades

The Michael Clay Thompson (MCT) language arts curriculum is a richly integrated program designed for advanced, gifted, and 2e students who thrive on depth, nuance, and big ideas. Created by renowned educator and author Michael Clay Thompson to bring sophisticated grammar, vocabulary, writing, poetics, and literature to young learners, the curriculum has grown into one of the most respected language arts resources for exceptional students. Each strand builds on the others, helping students understand how language works and how to use it beautifully. Winner of multiple education awards, MCT is ideal for families seeking a rigorous, literature-rich curriculum that nurtures both precision and creativity. It’s not designed as a quick or superficial language program but rather as a deep, transformational experience that parents praise for unlocking their children’s potential and offering exceptional long-term value.
