New Seminar Spotlights Character & Ethics

In a new Upper School "Character & Ethics" seminar, junior boys participate for one quarter in a class that prompts them to self-identify as ethical thinkers and gain self-knowledge with respect to their personal decision-making.
 
The discussion-based offering, meeting twice per rotation of the academic “seven-day week,” centers on in-class, collaborative work. It serves as a launching point for boys to explore critical issues of ethics, character, and leadership, and the decisions they invariably confront as individuals in less-than-ideal circumstances.
 
In addition, boys are challenged to debate, define, and assess their positions on such issues as the "bystander" effect, social influence, business ethics, bias, and moral authority.  
 
The seminar has evolved as part of the Brunswick Trust, the School’s character and leadership initiative. Its goal is to facilitate more meaningful discussion and feedback based on the Character Continuum, Brunswick's metric for character growth.
