What do we offer for parents?

Looking for online classes for your home-educated students?

We run live Zoom sessions on philosophy, debating, improv, book club and Shakespeare.

Our sister organisation, P4HE, has 25 classes to choose from for various age groups from 6-8s to teens. The same principles of lively, playful, thoughtful dialogue of P4C are at the heart of these sessions for home educators and schoolschoolers.

We also run evening sessions aimed particularly at children who are "beyond their years" in their thinking, and for adults, to Philosophy Wranglers (three separate sessions for 9-12 yrs, teens, adults).

"It actually allows me to debate with other people…who could perhaps have arguments that could change my views...

"This has helped me in a way because, firstly, this couldn’t be done in school and it’s not quite school so it’s lots better. As well as the fact that it actually allows me to debate with other people…who could perhaps have arguments that could change my views. and also the fact that philosophy helps you sort of understand life more. I like philosophy because it's a nice mental exercise and this place is a place where I can do that."

"I come here and I feel like it's not just me who wants to have discussions...

"Some of my friends can be very not open to discussion… they don't listen to me when I want to discuss interesting things and I often feel like I'm like really weird or stupid for thinking that we should talk about that. But then I come here and I feel like it's not just me who wants to have discussions. So I feel like this is just a really good place to be for me ’cause it makes me feel more confident."

""Now I just see that I see that these different opinions, I might not agree with them, they do have a basis around them.

"Now I just see that I see that these different opinions, I might not agree with them, they do have a basis around them. Overall I think that's good because there's so much hatred at the moment in say, like politics and it's all “stupid left wing” or “stupid right wing” and having a balanced calm discussion will get things done in the end, not shouting at each other or protesting each other. We've eventually got to listen. I think even if it's just a couple of people that decide to just because they did a class, I think that's pretty good overall."

Parent

My two really enjoyed today, thanks. One of them found when she went into a ‘small room’ at first that they were all silent and none of them sure what to say. However, when they went back with everyone they seem to warm up and she enjoyed it. Many thanks!
