Our Sierra Elementary School Concept

​

Our philosophy for elementary school, known as Philosophy for Children, inspires young learners to cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills through engaging discussions about philosophical questions. It empowers children to explore the ethical, aesthetic, political, and other dimensions of their experiences. Through the use of picture books, hands-on activities, and personal stories as discussion prompts, we create a safe and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to express their ideas and listen to one another.
