You will be studying a range of topics while in GPS Tulsa. Don’t worry, we wont overload you. You will have plenty of time to keep up with your regular school work as well. These are big important ideas that we think everybody should wrestle with. Some of them are about the world around us; “What does community look like?” “What does it mean to live in a just world?” Some of them are internal; “Who was I made to be?” “What is my role in making the world a better place?” No matter the topic you will be challenged to think about the world and your role in it in new ways.
Here is the tentative curriculum for GPS Tulsa. We will keep it flexible so that we can address important topics as they come up.
