Philosophy SL is a course that tackles questions important to humanity. For example, what is it to be a human being and how do I know what is the right thing to do? Students learn how to think systematically, analyse arguments, and study philosophical themes. They also look at problems facing contemporary society, including those resulting from increased international interaction.

What Is Different in Taking Philosophy SL Online?

Students will have the opportunity to:
  • study alongside students from around the world.
  • exchange ideas with people from very different philosophical backgrounds.
  • access source material in a variety of media.
  • access a structured learning environment that provides flexibility and support in equal measure.
Some things won’t be different though. Standards and expectations will be just as high as in a face to face classroom.  

Activities and Assessment

Activities include watching videos, reading notes, independent research, listening to podcasts by leading philosophers, writing personal reflections, essay writing, analysing and evaluating texts, external websites, or online discussions with classmates.

Students take quizzes and carry out activities for authentic examination preparation.

Advice from Our Teachers

In order to succeed in Philosophy SL, we recommend students set aside five to six hours a week.
