Stoic Week for Schools
Download our free student handbook and instructor's guide (also in Spanish)
Did you know that, alongside our classic version of Stoic Week, Modern Stoicism has a dedicated Stoic Week course just for teens? We developed this week-long course specifically for students, including age-appropriate lessons and examples. No registration is required. You can download the student handbook and instructor’s manual at any time.
Topics covered in Stoic Week for Schools include:
Emotions
Resilience
Friendship
Nature and community
Identity and character
The course is designed to be taught in a classroom format. For each day of the week (Monday-Friday), there is an introductory lesson, discussion questions, and supplemental materials with additional resources and reading. This is a great opportunity for teachers, parents, or youth mentors to discuss vital life lessons with their students—lessons that often are not covered in school curriculum.
The Stoic Week for Schools materials also lend themselves to being adapted for your particular needs. Depending on the specific context and the age(s) of the children you are teaching, you can either simplify the lessons or make them more in-depth by incorporating philosophical readings from ancient Stoic texts. Either way, the provided student handbook and instructor’s manual offer an excellent starting point for exploring Stoic principles with teens.
