The Big decisions Seminar

This seminar, building on the previous year, helps students to see how their decisions in high school are shaping the sort of person they will become. The seminar concentrates on the character traits that constitute a mature, responsible adult, by looking at key questions and dilemmas that one begins to face in high school. Students will strengthen their capacity for reflection and critical thinking, drawing on valuable insights from historical figures to help address the issues they face in the here and now.
