Sophia Forum 101 (Full year)
The purpose of this course is to develop the critical
thinking and writing skills of high school students
through the engagement of certain key themes in the
history of Western thought. We will examine these
themes through the lenses of the various disciplines of
the Humanities, stressing especially, Literature,
Philosophy, Theology, History, and the Arts. Through
lectures, readings, class discussions, argumentative
essays, film screenings, etc., we will learn to think well
and enjoy doing it. Sophia Forum 101 especially focuses
on Faith & Reason and the various arguments for the
existence of God, from the ancient period to the
present. Furthermore, we will study English etymology
through daily Latin and Greek vocabulary exercises.
