Philosophy

This 100 hour short course provides an engaging introduction to philosophy at second level. It aims to engage students in philosophical enquiry and dialogue about life’s big questions and to develop critical, creative, collaborative, caring thinkers who can participate in informed discourse and act in the world in a more reflective manner.

There is a strong focus on students doing philosophy as well as learning about some of the big thinkers, past and present, who have grappled with life’s big questions.
