Students on Campus Students will not be permitted in the school building prior to 7:15 am.

Specific details about student conduct on campus are available in the General Information section of this brochure.

Absences Parents should notify the office if their child will be absent from class. Although missing any class time puts students at a distinct disadvantage in an accelerated course, students

taking advance credit courses are permitted two absences or a total of eight hours of class time. Students with excessive absences will not be eligible to have a transcript sent from Newark Academy. If they are absent, students enrolled in advance credit courses are responsible for making up the material and the work that was covered during their absence.

Academic Integrity Newark Academy strives to develop critical thinking and analytical writing skills throughout its curricula. Consequently, when a student signs his or her name to an assignment or assessment, the expectation and the understanding is that all work submitted is original or that the source from which the ideas or text have been taken is clearly identified. A student involved in an incident of academic dishonesty may be dismissed from Summer Session.

Final Exams All students enrolled in an advance credit class are required to take a final exam. A student will not be issued a final grade if he or she does not take the final exam in a 120-hour course.

Personal computers may be used only for school-related work. Students are not allowed to play games or watch movies on their computers at Newark Academy. The use of mobile devices during a class is not allowed without expressed permission of the classroom teacher.

In a society marked by economic instability, citizens often focus on the study of education in math and science rather than the liberal arts. In this course, we will talk about the critical role that studying philosophy can play in the development of ethically-minded critical thinkers. We will also survey five major areas of philosophy – Ontology (What exists?), Epistemology (What can we know?), Ethics (How should we behave?), Aesthetics (What is beautiful?), and Existentialism (What is life’s meaning?). Important thinkers in each of these categories will provide readings for consideration.

In this seminar, students will receive training in critical thinking, dialectic, listening, and the art of inquiry as they practice Socratic-style learning. The catalysts for most lessons will be excerpts from the “great” philosophical books of the Western and Eastern canon. Before they know it, students will be engaged in conversation with others like Plato, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Descartes, Euclid, and Einstein in the enduring quest for understanding life’s big questions.
