Philosophy
The Philosophy department at Columbia Secondary School is a seven-year, vertically-aligned sequence intended to develop students' abilities to creatively problem solve, probe, and think deeply about the world around them. In middle school, Philosophy centers as a discussion course; in high school, students explore Introduction to Philosophy and its History (9); Ethics and Aesthetics (10); and have choices of specific philosophy courses in grades 11 and 12.
The Philosophy students at CSS produce a student-run journal, Contrariwise, which ponders our philosophical questions, great and small.
Contrariwise asks the CSS Community to respond to student-generated Infrequently Asked Questions here.
