The multi-disciplinary seminar course may replace the seminar program for identified gifted students in grade twelve. Students will develop their conceptual, creative, critical, collaborative, and communication skills by exploring topics such as philosophy, metaphysics, and ethics. The class will also examine the epistemological structures of each academic discipline and employ critical thinking skills to evaluate the reliability and nature of knowledge. The course includes a research component.
