A philosophy session can be run in a number of ways: it can take place in the classroom with the teacher present; run in conjunction with a particular project or it can be held with smaller groups (e.g. G&T) or with children that need specific attention.
Our sessions can be aligned with the national curriculum or specific topics. Our philosophy sessions meet many of the requirements of the following aspects of the curriculum:
“Our son has greatly enhanced his understanding of problem solving and more importantly acceptance of differing points of view. A great life skill to learn early on”
Neil Hennessy-Vass, Parent
Sessions can be tailor-made to your school’s requirements.
If you are interested in having philosophy in your schools please email us or call 020 8699 9314 to arrange a meeting.
THE PHILOSOPHY SHOP

“Philosophy is brilliant because you get to really listen to other people. The problems we are presented with really make me think and it is fascinating to see which way the discussion is going to progress.”
