Ryedale School

The Religious Studies department curriculum and pedagogical approach allows for each student to see the world through the many disciplinary lenses of Religious Studies. These include anthropology, philosophy, ethics, sociology, and theology. Religious Studies students study religious thought primarily as a chronology of thought in the early years which allows them to develop their own world views on issues such as life after death, ethical dilemmas, and rites of passage. Through this study they draw comparisons between world views and ultimately develop a deep tolerance and respect for views different to their own. Our subject curriculum fosters a love for critical thinking, debate and self-discovery which helps shape our students into tolerant, reflective and deep-thinking young people ready to be emersed in the diverse nature of the wider world.
