Throughout the course, we will be discussing a range of topics related to anthropology, including cultural practices, human evolution, archaeology, linguistics, and more. While we aim to create an engaging and educational experience for your child, we want to inform you that some content may touch upon sensitive or challenging subjects. These topics could include discussions on death and burial practices, cultural practices that differ from their own, historical events involving conflict or violence, and the concept of human evolution and our primate relatives. We believe that understanding and discussing these topics within an educational context is valuable, but we also recognize that individual comfort levels may vary. We encourage you to have open conversations with your child about the course materials and let us know if there are any specific concerns or considerations we should be aware of. We are committed to creating a supportive learning environment and will be responsive to the needs of our students.
