What is PAIDEIA?

The Paideia Program, or simply Paideia, is an educational philosophy pioneered by Mortimer Adler in the United States. It seeks to bring back the democratic process in learning by giving students a personalized type of education.

Following the Paideia Program, classes in Bannister Academy are normally divided into three (3) parts: lectures, coaching, and Paideia seminars.

What is the Paideia Seminar?

The Paideia Seminar is an academic exercise where students are given a text (i.e. an article, a primary source, a work of art, a film, an invention, a mathematical concept, etc.) to process among themselves.

In a seminar, the teacher takes a step back and it is the students who lead the discussion, following certain questions that the teacher gives.

More often than not, the discussion takes a direction dictated by the students themselves. In these seminars, the teacher gives the students an opportunity to discuss big ideas or values relevant to the subject matter.
