Philosophy

---

Philosophy is about questioning the things around you and considering the impact we can have on the world we live in. How can we make the world a better place?

Studying philosophy develops students’ ability to think logically, to evaluate arguments critically, and to develop their reasoning skills. Philosophy is something we do, it is:

“The activity of working out the right way of thinking about things.”

Students learn how to argue, debate, and most importantly, understand their own thoughts and views on the most fundamental questions we have about existence, knowledge, and morality.
