IPS has helped equip our kids with many life skills, one of which is to be active participants in engaged discussions with the ability to appreciate different perspectives and engage in a respectful manner.
It has also instilled in them a set of strong values and enhanced their curiosity in the world around them which when combined helps them form their own views on world affairs and not just passively accept the beliefs of others that may contradict what they value and deem important.
We see both these as key skills to help them interpret and navigate the world with more empathy, openness and awareness.
