Philosophy & Beliefs

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing” – Albert Einstein

Philosophy and Beliefs provides students with an understanding of the diverse world of thought, faith, and meaning, speaking directly to young people’s curiosity, wonder, and concern for the big questions of life. The subject enables students to contextualise many of the ethical and moral dilemmas happening in a world that is changing more rapidly than ever and understand their vital role as empathetic global citizens. Philosophy and Beliefs is much more than a list of content. It is a viewpoint and way of making sense of the world by examining the links between different beliefs, practices, and values. An understanding of this subject helps students to understand the complex relationships between diverse communities and how they coexist. It enables students to live in harmony with others, share responsibility for the well-being of society, and aims to ensure that they are morally and ethically aware and able to develop their own values and potential as citizens in the 21st Century.
