Page High – IB Philosophy Sl

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

The IB Philosophy course aims to lead students to reflect on and question the bases of knowledge and experience, develop a personal mode of thought based on critical examination of evidence and argument, formulate rational arguments, and be aware of subjective and ideological biases. This course seeks to engage students in doing philosophy rather than merely learning philosophical doctrines or about the great philosophers. Students will study two philosophical themes and one specific philosophical text in preparation for the IB Philosophy SL exam. Course credit is dependent upon students taking the IB standard level exam or meeting the course requirements for IB Philosophy HL the following year. Students meeting the prerequisites have open access to IB courses.
