CIVIS
WeUpAcademy CIVIS programs are designed to teach students how the world works, to empower them to participate in democratic processes, and to improve their future readiness.
Through the CIVIS programs, students develop their writing, communicating, and critical thinking abilities. They build strategies and habits, solve problems, and lay a solid foundation for higher education and professional growth.
There are multiple aspects to any academic interest, and competitive students tend to be able to answer the following questions well:
1. What is it about the work involved in a field – such as lab work in chemistry, or interviewing people in anthropology – that draws you to it?
2. What is the impact of your academic interest that you care about the most?
3. What about the subject of your academic interest makes it so appealing to you?
4. What are the shortcomings or gaps that you believe exist in the current way in which research or work is being conducted in the field of your academic interest?
Clear academic interests tend to correlate with a deep enough understanding of a field to demonstrate what one wants to do with it.
These weekly small-group classes include live question and answer sessions, one-on-one meetings, assigned homework with individual feedback, all aim to develop comprehension and analytical skills required in junior and senior high schools.
CIVIS: Philosophy Competition
The Ethics Olympiad is a philosophy competition in which students present and discuss arguments on complex applied ethical issues, then are judged on the quality of their arguments by a qualified judge with a background in Philosophy. The competition began in Australia, and has since developed into an international competition. At the last three international Olympiads, Canadian teams won silver (2020), gold (2021), and gold (2022) medals.
