Critical Thinking
Observe. Question. Think. These are the fundamental skills for this generation of learners in making independent judgments. Our flagship Critical Thinking Socrates Program ignites our students brain power to question the seemingly obvious and think for themselves.
Led by our talented educators, students engage in discussions, debates, and simulations on thought-provoking current affairs and everyday phenomena.
Term Period | Jun 16 - Aug 15 |
Schedule | 5 lessons |
Duration | 1.5 hrs per lesson |

Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking Socrates Program Level 1
(AGE 9-11 / G4-G6 / Y5-Y7 / P4-P6) (SO1)
Demo Questions:
- Why is a painting worth more AFTER being destroyed?
- Why is something as identical as the iPhone so expensive?
Be inspired by one’s surroundings! The ability to seek higher level relations in daily observations is pivotal in encouraging young learners to think out of the box! The classes will go beyond fashion and public transportation, and explore how these luxuries we take for granted can be linked to wider social issues such as poverty, human rights and more!
Critical Thinking Socrates Program Level 2
(AGE 12-14 / G7-G9 / Y8-Y10 / S1-S3) (SO2)
Demo Questions:
- Does buying from poor countries hurt the poor?
- Does the government need to stand up for something or someone?
Civil wars in the Middle East, hate crimes in the US, terrorist attacks that threaten the world – these tragedies are being featured daily on the news, yet they seem to be distant problems to our Hong Kong teens. How might we as global citizens be responsible for world events, be it directly or indirectly? Join us to explore how to “relate the unrelated” realities of life!
