About
We’re thrilled to have you join our conversations! If you're feeling a bit uneasy about speaking up, that’s totally okay—our dialogue club is a supportive space where everyone develops confidence in their own time, and your perspective is just as valuable as anyone else's. 🙃
Join our virtual Dialogue Club to form a community with students from around the world. Our dialogue club runs every other week to discuss a new topic. By participating in 3+ Dialogue sessions, you will get a Dialogues portfolio you can submit with your college applications to our university partners.
Below, we will post our topic which will be covered in our weeks together:
Session 1: Healthcare
Session 2: Abortion
Session 3: Tariffs and Global Trade
Session 4: Euthanasia & Assisted Dying
Session 5: Israel Palestine Conflict
Session 6: The Future of Higher Education
Session 7: Social Media and Youth
Session 8: Improving Physical Health
Tutored by
Hi, I'm a rising senior from South Carolina. I'm joining Schoolhouse to improve my SAT score and prepare for my upcoming AP Calculus and AP Physics courses this year, as well as to help other students improve by tutoring them in my areas of strength. I enjoy reading, writing, pilates, and watching old movies in my free time.
