Meliora is offering three courses for students aged 12-18 for the 2022-2023 academic year.
We will answer the question “How has mass media shaped the social, cultural and political frontiers of America?” in our US History course. In addition to our whole-class studies and discussions, students will develop, either individually or in a small team, a project per semester which investigates a “frontier” topic of their interest.
Daughter of Fog — explorations of fantasy storytelling is this year’s language arts course. We will explore the fantasy genre, reading novels, watching movies and writing our own fantasy short stories.
What does Sophie know about philosophy? is our inaugural Western Philosophy course, for students aged 14 and older. Using Sophie’s World as our core text, we will learn about the major Western philosophers and apply their principles by developing potential solutions to real-world problems.
