We introduce students to key civilizations, movements, and forces that have shaped our past, and we help them explore the great issues and challenges facing our local and global communities today. Through a range of approaches--including historical thinking skills, design thinking, and project-based work across multiple disciplines--we equip students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to make a difference in the world. As part of our diverse and student-oriented upper-grades team, you will also teach Philosophy elective and the Advanced Humanities Brazil course, that uses Brazilian history and culture from the Discovery to the current challenges as the means to explore processes, philosophical areas of study, and societal changes at a deeper level. Major Brazilian thinkers in the Humanities, along with Brazil's geopolitical challenges, are but just two areas for in-depth inquiry. Thus, the course is not only an inquiry opportunity for students interested in different Humanities fields but also a preparation for the next step in their academic life, given the course’s alignment with the rigors of the Vestibular.
