Explore the world of ideas and challenge your perceptions in 'Deep Thinkers,' a unique online philosophy class designed specifically for young minds aged 9-13. 

This isn't your typical classroom experience; here, we delve into life's biggest questions and the mysteries of existence in a fun, interactive, and engaging manner.

Through engaging discussions and thought-provoking exercises, students will journey through a diverse range of philosophical concepts, from understanding the abstract concept of time to discussing human nature and even delving into fascinating ideas like simulation theory. But don't be intimidated by these 'big' topics. Each idea is broken down and presented in a way that's both accessible and relevant to our students' experiences.

'Deep Thinkers' is the ideal environment for children who already show signs of pondering life's deeper meanings. However, it's also a great starting point for those new to philosophical thinking. Here, we strongly believe there are no 'wrong' or 'right' answers, but only opportunities to learn, explore, and grow as budding philosophers.

In this class, we don't just teach philosophy; we encourage students to become philosophers, fostering their curiosity, critical thinking skills, empathy, and open-mindedness. With these tools, they'll be well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the world and approach differing viewpoints with understanding and respect.

Each week will we study a particular Philosophical Topic (Values, Morals, Political Philosophy, Spiritual Philosophy, Space, the Universe etc.) , with an emphasis on Philosophical Ideas from around the world:

Examples include: Utilitarianism, Zen Buddhism, Ubuntu,  Plato's Cave and many more.

This class will include:
1. Historical and Cultural context of the Philosophy Idea in question. 
2. Thorough explanation of the weeks concept.
3. Discussion of the concept
4. Discussion of various Philosophical view points of the topic in question
5. Thorough explanation and development of the student's own Philosophical view points!

***Please note: Some topics we discuss faster than others, so some topics may last for two or three weeks, and others, only one week. I ensure that a student is able to start class and join in! But if you would like your student to start when a new topic begins, please message me ahead of time and I will ensure this occurs.***

This class is great for learning about other cultures, and history, and will develop thinking skills. In all my classes I place a large emphasis on fun, and valuing students interpretation of the subject, so we will do a lot of discussion. 

Great for kids who are already showing signs of being deep thinkers.
