You-topia with Christopher Salem Have you ever dreamed of being the ruler of your own country? Would you be a benevolent president, working to ensure peace and democracy for your citizens, or perhaps a powerful emperor/empress regnant looking to expand your nation's reach around the globe? Find out if you have what it takes to be a successful leader on the new planet of You-topia. Start your country from the very beginning and help it grow into a success. Learn how to use your government's power to solve problems and give your citizens what they need to be happy, healthy and prosperous. Alas, you are not the only eager new leader on this planet, so you will also need to navigate trade, the environment, conflict, crises and unexpected situations with other countries trying to share the planet. You-topia needs you! #CSI2020

Social Discourse with Renee Mack Join together with new friends from all around the world to select, explore, and discuss issues meaningful and impactful to you. Students will generate and explore these said issues each day through the use of varied social discourse and academic debate methods. While students ultimately hold the power and responsibility to direct the curriculum, some topics for study in the past have included: climate change, the existence of zoos, social med...ia usage, global politics, dress codes, and ocean protection. Social discourse will assist with building literacy, reading comprehension, critical thinking, problem-solving, and oral expression while also encouraging students to form close bonds and supportive relationships with their classmates. For our culminating project, we will be creating a newspaper which will be distributed at the concluding ceremony. #CSI2020 See more

Leadership and Design Thinking with Tamar Adegbile, Bryan Rodriguez, and Margot Dorian CSI’s Leadership and Design Thinking class draws upon the curriculum from Cate School’s leadership program and the teachings of Stanford University’s d.school. Through the model of service-leadership, students explore their own values and styles of being a leader, all while developing greater empathy for others. Through the creation of greater group and self awareness, students engage in leadership as a deliberate practice. With these tools, students also start to explore the world of design thinking, a process which draws on methods from engineering and design, and combines them with ideas from the arts, tools from the social sciences, and insights from the business world to solve challenges and problems in an empathetic and creative way. #CSI2020
