Harkness
Around the Harkness table — the centerpiece of most classrooms on campus — students engage in lively discussions where every voice matters. Teachers serve as facilitators rather than lecturers, guiding students to analyze complex questions, challenge assumptions, and build on each other’s ideas.
Through these seminar-style conversations, students hone their ability to think critically about complex topics, to listen deeply, to speak with clarity and nuance, and to welcome diverse perspectives.
Conversations around the Harkness table — whether in computer science, European history or Latin class — challenge students to collaborate, to take intellectual risks and to consider diverse perspectives, all with the goal of achieving deeper understanding.
