Theory of Knowledge (TOK)

Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a course that encourages students to reflect on how we acquire and validate knowledge across different subjects. It examines questions like "How do we know what we know?" and considers the influence of language, culture, and perspectives on understanding. By analyzing various ways of knowing—such as perception, reasoning, emotion, and language—TOK helps students develop critical thinking skills and consider the reliability and limitations of different knowledge sources. Ultimately, it promotes thoughtful inquiry about the nature and origins of knowledge in our complex world.
