Welcome Senior Parents:
This year, as IB learners your student will have an opportunity to step back from the subjects and materials of your courses to think critically about knowledge itself. In addition to critically examining the knowledge obtained through traditional academic pursuits, students (Knowers) in Theory of Knowledge class will seek to make sense of the world and who they are in it.
We will seek to answer questions like: What counts as knowledge? How does it grow and what are its limits? What is the value of knowledge? Who owns knowledge? What are the implications of having or not having knowledge?
The TOK course is structured around the interplay between the:
Ways of Knowing: language, sense, perception, emotion, reason, imagination, faith, intuition, and memory, within specific branches of knowledge called:
Areas of Knowledge: natural sciences, human sciences, mathematics, ethics, history,the arts, religious knowledge systems, and indigenous knowledge systems.
IB Content: Of course, this is an IB class. Full IB candidates will complete 2 IB assessments in TOK class this year. These are: The TOK Essay and the TOK Presentation. We will begin formally preparing for these after the Winter Break. If your student is not an IB candidate, they will complete a TOK Presentation (possibly 2) and write an essay of similar format to the formal TOK Essay.
