We are pleased to introduce the Reason & Rationality 2026 Convivium summer program at Princeton Theological Seminary (June 7-19) and (June 21 - July 2). 2026 Reason & Rationality Oral Exam Competition Benjamin Morison Department Chair Princeton University (Philosophy) As elite colleges and their admissions offices continue to navigate widespread use of AI-assisted writing, grade inflation, and extensive outside support, many are re-examining how best to assess a student’s genuine intellectual engagement. In response, oral examinations are re-emerging as a way of evaluating how students actually think. Oral exams assess skills that cannot be outsourced: verbal clarity, intellectual agility, true command of the content, and composure under questioning. They require students to explain ideas aloud, defend claims in real time, and respond thoughtfully to follow-up questions. The Reason & Rationality Oral Exam Competition & Training Program is the first oral exam contest of its kind for high school students, and it reflects the kind of intellectual evaluation students will increasingly encounter in college seminars, interviews, and advanced coursework. The two-week Reason & Rationality Program includes training in how best to prepare for oral exams. Students who participate receive focused preparation in how to: Process of crafting compelling oral arguments Understand the criteria in which oral exams are evaluated Think aloud with clarity and structure Defend claims under sustained questioning Respond thoughtfully to challenges and counterarguments Maintain composure and intellectual openness in evaluative conversations For students who wish to go further, Reason & Rationality also offers an optional Oral Exam Competition, the first of its kind for high school students. The competition is open to students attending the full 2-week program. Participation is free for students in the Advanced Program (returning Reason & Rationality alumni) and is $700 for all other students. We are especially excited to announce that Benjamin Morison, the Chair of the Princeton University Philosophy Department, will join the judging panel for the 2026 competition. Winners and Honorable Mention results from the Reason & Rationality Oral Exam Competition will be published online providing students a unique and meaningful opportunity to stand out in their college applications.

We are pleased to introduce the Reason & Rationality Institute 2026 Middle School Summer Program at The Pingry School in New Jersey Reason & Rationality Institute @ Pingry An Overnight Academic Summer Program Residential · Gr ades 7–8 · New Jersey Hosted at The Pingry School | July 26 – August 1, 2026 Reason & Rationality Institute is a week-long residential program at The Pingry School in New Jersey. In small seminars led by Ph.D. faculty, students discover and apply the foundational ideas of PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) by trying to explain the strange things that grownups do. Why does a teacher punish the whole class for one student's mistake? Working it through, students gain the words for concepts they knew but never articulated. By the end of the week, dinner conversation at home will never be the same. Students who come through Reason & Rationality leave more confident in their own judgment, more at ease in serious intellectual company, and more familiar with a way of thinking that will serve them through high school, college, and beyond. For many, it is the first time an academic setting has felt built for them. Academic Leadership : Reason & Rationality is directed by Peter Bach-y-Rita (BA Princeton, JD Stanford, PhD MIT). Faculty include doctoral-level philosophers from Princeton, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Oxford. Location : The Pingry School’s residential Pottersville New Jersey campus, offering students a structured introduction to residential academic life in a beautiful setting. Program Details: Each day includes at least four hours of rigorous, discussion-based learning, followed by group activities such as the Pottersville ropes course. Evenings include games and structured social activities connected to program themes. Students arrive on July 26 and depart on the morning of August 1, 2026 . Rising 7th and 8th grade students (as of Summer 2026) are eligible to apply. Interested families may contact Dean of Academics Peter Bach-y-Rita at info@reasonandrationality.com . For a short Zoom chat with Peter click on the following button: Zoom Calendar Hear Student Reflections: Hear Instructor Reflections: How is the Middle School Program Different from the High School Program? The high school program dives directly into the kinds of philosophical debates you would encounter at Princeton or other elite universities. It ranges widely over topics as diverse as whether humans have free will and moral responsibility to whether we owe obligations to future generations. The middle school program uses familiar situations from school and family life to uncover the foundational intuitions of economics, ethics, and political theory. Students will learn to spot patterns and see how laws, moral codes, and even market systems are often different ways of trying to fix the same problem. Whether its clothing and makeup in school or embryonic gene editing, there may not be an obvious right answer but there is an underlying logic. Middle school students also grapple with belief and authority: Who should we trust? What makes someone an expert? Why do groups sometimes come to believe things that no one would have defended alone? The middle school program will be limited to about 25 students in a 1:5 student-teacher ratio. (The high school program is about 50 students in a 1:10 ratio). Concepts covered include: Incentives · Trade-offs · Opportunity Cost · Equilibrium · Coordination Problems · Collective Action · Externalities · Moral Hazard · Institutional Design · Moral Reasoning · Signaling · Testimony and Expertise · Probabilistic Reasoning A Day at Reason & Rationality Institute 8:00 AM — Breakfast and Morning Meeting: Someone is already replaying a scene from Chicken Run and insisting it was a public goods problem, not a prisoners' dilemma. 9:00 – 11:00 AM — Morning Seminar: Making Up Your Mind — Experts: When should you trust an expert and when should you push back? From doctors to coaches to the confident kid in class who always has an answer, students work through cases where deference makes sense and cases where it doesn't. 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM — Lunch 12:30 – 2:30 PM — Afternoon Seminar: Fairness and the Veil of Ignorance: Is your school's grading system fair? What about the way sports teams are picked at recess? Students use examples from their own lives to discover that fairness is harder to define than it looks and encounter Rawls's veil of ignorance as a tool for thinking about it more clearly. 2:45 – 4:30 PM — Ropes Course : It turns out that designing a fair team challenge is harder than it sounds. The veil of ignorance gets a workout. 5:00 PM — Free Time 6:00 PM — Dinner 7:30 PM — Fermi Estimation Games: Teams compete to estimate things no one could possibly know. How many piano tuners are in Chicago? How many golf balls fit in this room? The point isn't the answer — it's learning to reason carefully under uncertainty rather than giving up or guessing randomly. Surprisingly fun and surprisingly hard. 9:30 PM — Wind Down Students who come through Reason & Rationality leave more confident speaking in groups, more willing to sit with a difficult question, and more capable of changing their minds without losing their footing. These are habits that show up in classroom participation, teacher recommendations, and the kind of student a young person becomes over the next several years. Most students arrive having encountered many subjects but few big ideas. Philosophy, Politics, and Economics gives them a coherent framework for thinking about choices, institutions, and values that has been used for over a century (first innovated by Oxford University) to prepare young people for intellectual and civic life, and that transfers to almost everything they will study afterward. Reason & Rationality teaches PPE through conversations that make it stick, using problems that students actually care about. Why Reason & Rationality Institute?

Reason & Rationality Convivial Conversation Guidelines Tips for Productive and Enriching Conversation Reason & Rationality equips high school students with the tools to think rigorously about complex questions, separate fact from ideology, and engage in lively intellectual exchange. Our classes are filled with humor, and rooted in relatable discussions. Students sharpen their critical thinking and communication skills and leave with a grasp of the intellectual frameworks that empower them to become confident independent thinkers. At Reason & Rationality, we welcome honest, intellectually rigorous conversations on topics that are often avoided in traditional high school settings—politics, religion, ethics, personal values, and more. These discussions can be deeply rewarding but also require maturity, self-awareness, and respect. Everyone involved, students and instructors, shares responsibility for creating an open, thoughtful, and inclusive environment. We are committed to fostering dialogue, not debate. The goal is to understand and explore different perspectives, not to win arguments or persuade others of a particular ideology. Our aim is to create not only a “safe space,” but a brave space—where intellectual courage and emotional maturity go hand in hand. Guidelines for Discussion The Reason & Rationality community is built on the belief that respectful disagreement is essential to intellectual growth. We are here to think hard, listen deeply, and learn from one another even when we disagree. Reason & Rationality Core Discussion Values Intellectual Humility: Be open to the idea that your beliefs might be incomplete or even wrong. Listening is not just polite; it’s how we grow. Curiosity Over Certainty: Ask questions not to trap or win, but to understand. Approach others with a genuine interest in how they see the world. Clarity Over Volume: You don’t have to speak first or the loudest. Take time to gather your thoughts. Silence can be powerful. When used properly, “strategic pauses” can have a powerful impact. Communal Understanding and Respect for Identity: Philosophical inquiry asks us to move from personal perspective to public reasoning by offering arguments others can assess without reference to individual identity or experience. This reflects a long-standing philosophical commitment to shared standards of justification. To support that, students should generally refrain from bringing racial, gender, sexual, or political identities or beliefs into discussion, unless clearly necessary to aiding communal understanding. Respectful disagreement on such matters is welcome when relevant. Focus creates freedom. In thoughtful philosophical discussion, it is often structure that creates the space for real openness and respect. Our conversations should remain centered on the argument at hand, rather than drifting into a free-form exchange of personal opinions. This discipline ensures that all participants stay in true conversation and can genuinely be heard. Without such focus, even well-meaning attempts at “safe” dialogue can unravel, leading to misunderstanding or discomfort. Critique with Care: Challenge ideas rigorously. Avoid turning critique into character judgment. If in doubt, ask a question before making a claim. Tips for Students We want Reason & Rationality to be a space where students speak openly and also listen generously. Here are some principles to keep in mind when you engage in discussion: Speak to Understand, Not Just to Persuade: The goal is to explore ideas together, not to "win" an argument. Your role is to contribute thoughtfully and help others feel safe doing the same. Help Steer the Conversation Constructively: If things seem off track or overly repetitive, try gently refocusing the group. Offer Suggestions When There’s a Stalemate: If a discussion feels stuck, propose a new approach. “It seems like we both have different facts that inform our perspectives. Maybe we can talk about our underlying values instead since we disagree about the evidence?” Ask Questions and Clarify: If something doesn’t make sense or is confusing, ask. Rephrasing what you’ve heard is also a powerful way to check understanding. “Let me see if I can restate your argument…” Assume Good Intentions: People communicate differently across cultures and personalities. What may come off as rude or off-putting in one culture is completely polite in another. Try to interpret others' words in the most generous way possible. Critique Ideas, Not People: Disagreement is welcome; disrespect is not. Challenge positions, not identities. “I see it differently because…” instead of “That’s a ridiculous thing to say.” Handle Interruptions Respectfully: If you feel cut off, speak up calmly. “I really want to hear your perspective—could I just finish my thought first?” Clarify When Misunderstood: You can always restate your point, or ask others to reflect back what they heard: “Let me try to say it another way…” “Can you tell me what you heard me say? I want to make sure I was clear.” Express Discomfort Thoughtfully: If something bothers you, it’s okay to say so kindly and clearly. Describe the action, not the person’s intent. “When you said X, I felt Y.” “I don’t think that was your intention, but that comment landed in a hard way for me.” If it feels tense then try a little humor: A light, respectful joke can ease tension and help everyone breathe. Just make sure you're laughing with people, not at them and that the moment calls for it.
