Our Mission
Telos (τέλος)
/ˈte.los/ — noun
Definition: “end”, “purpose”, or “goal.”
In a world where AI tools can rob students of their sense of accomplishment and motivation, finding genuine intellectual purpose is the key to a successful and fulfilling academic journey.
Our pathways guide students to discover their telos — the questions that intrigue them and the ideas that energise them.
Cultivating intellectual curiosity
We train you to ask questions and acquire knowledge as a means to empathetic and informed engagement with the world around us.
Fostering foundational skills
You can’t build a house without scaffolding. That’s why we believe in the vital importance of honing foundational skills like reading, writing, and verbal reasoning.
Resisting AI Dependency
We foster the curiosity and discipline required to engage deeply with ideas themselves, rather than outsourcing thinking and academic work to AI tools. Training our critical thinking protects us from ideological polarisation, fake news, and the many challenges we all face online.
