🧚♀️Looking for ways to unwind from fast-paced, high-stress school life? Explore how poets of the Romantic Era discovered joy in the small moments, slowing down to appreciate nature and our relationship with it!
In this session we will learn what Romantic poetry is, read a few examples from Wordsworth and Blake, then write our own nature-based poems!
🎤Please come with a working microphone and something to write (or type) with.
📚Sharing your work is optional, but I highly encourage everyone to participate (answering questions or reading out the examples) during the session!!!

Western Philosophy
Starts
Each week we will discuss a different text (or part of a text) relating to Western Philosophy. I will do my best to offer PDFs of the texts and ask you to read them before coming to a session, where we will then discuss the contents of the text. I will do my best to go over the main points of a text before we discuss our opinions, expect 15 minutes of summary to 45 minutes of discussion. 👍
This course is very much not decided, and we can jump around texts as people so desire, however I will try to stay in a general chronological order with the texts. The amount of time we spend on each is up to you guys :)

Readings about the Modern World
2nd session
Each week, we will explore articles that explain different global events or concepts that shape the world today. Sessions will examine the historical background of the topic, what is currently happening, and how it connects to broader global systems such as politics, economics, technology, and culture. I will provide key context and takeaways at the start of each session to help students build literacy in global systems and ideas. We can also focus on specific individuals to understand their perspectives on concepts and ideas.
This course is intentionally flexible and participant-driven. Topics may shift based on group interest or emerging global trends, and we may spend more time on issues that generate stronger discussion. The goal is not to reach a single “correct” interpretation, but to develop a deeper, more connected understanding of how global systems influence one another and shape the world we live in.

Reading Discussions [Morning]
3rd session
Each week, a bit of text will be assigned from a book, and we will go over some themes and questions.
The book is Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. It is John Perkins’s personal account of how he was recruited into a global system designed to expand U.S. political and economic influence. He describes working as a consultant who traveled to developing countries and created highly optimistic economic forecasts that encouraged those nations to accept massive loans for infrastructure projects. These loans often pushed countries into heavy debt, making them more dependent on the United States and its allies, while benefiting large corporations.
A background in economics, global politics, and the Cold War is appreciated, but not necessary to understand the book. Please also note that this book is at a University level in English.

Every story has layers — beyond the characters and plot are deeper messages about life, society, and human nature. In this session, we’ll explore how authors use symbols (like light, colors, or nature) to express themes such as identity, freedom, and morality.
We’ll practice close reading techniques to identify these patterns, discuss what they represent, and connect them to the story’s larger meaning. Whether you love reading or want to strengthen your literary analysis skills for class, this session will help you see stories in a whole new way ✨

Reading, Analyzing, and Discussing Philosophical Texts
This is the 🔥FIRST EVER READING SERIES WHERE WE BLEND READING & WRITING WITH PHILOSOPHY🔥 in Schoolhouse! Contains 🔥INTENSIVE READING BEFORE SESSIONS and INTENSIVE DISCUSSING IN SESSIONS! It will be a 🔥great way to boost your reading & writing skills🔥 from SAT to physics, and will also 🔥help quench your thirst for philosophic discussion🔥.
Here you can:
- improve your reading comprehension skills and your proficiency in using logic -- both of which are essential for the SAT -- through reading and discussing selected primary texts by notable philosophers of a diverse span across time and topic, using beginner-friendly anthologies (collections of primary texts) as a guide.
- learn about how to write argumentative texts and how to argue effectively, again by learning from past philosophers.
- learn to appreciate texts and literature
- improve debate skills through the discussions, and gain a basic but high-coverage understanding of philosophy to aid you in producing powerful, thoughtful, and persuasive arguments!
Sessions will start with short lectures by the tutor(s) on the basics of the primary text of the session. Here, we will discuss the readings and cover reading comprehension through Q&A and check-your-understanding comprehension questions. Then, the remaining portion of time will be devoted to guided/moderated, Socratic discussions on the primary text, where participants can present their ideas and arguments and interact with each other.
Reading all of the selected text before the sessions is suggested for the best experience. We will also read excerpts from the text for discussion purposes.
