The Theory of Knowledge—a core element of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme—is a course in epistemology and practical philosophy. By examining short texts (including but not limited to local and world issues, philosophy, history and its perspectives, and scientific research) and the knowledge issues they contain and inspire, you will gain the skills necessary to analyze knowledge claims, their underlying assumptions, and their implications.

May the Spearth Be With You
Take a moment to think back through your Spearth Day. What did you learn? What new perspective did you gain? Where are your blisters? Share a moment, examine the perspectives it and you offer, and extract a knowledge question. Then, for more perspective, spend some time here. Please do this for Tuesday morning.

Thinking with the Stars
For Tuesday morning, please choose a moment from last night--either Formal Dinner or the IB Dance presentation--and examine the knowledge contained therein. Explain the context, the perspectives at work, and what about it caught your mind's eye. Finish with a KQ extracted from the moment. Congratulations to those of you who danced last night. Your performances were brave, personal, and powerful.
