About the Event

The Acorn Ethics Bowl is an intellectual celebration where students engage in thoughtful debates on real-world ethical dilemmas rooted in the Silver Oaks philosophy. Rather than searching for the right answer, participants explore multiple perspectives while applying the school’s learner attributes, habits and values. Every debate challenges students to think critically, communicate respectfully and defend ideas with empathy and integrity.

The event nurtures ethical reasoning, curiosity and confident expression, helping learners understand that character grows through questioning, listening and reflection.

It transforms philosophy into meaningful conversations that prepare students to navigate life’s complex decisions with wisdom and responsibility.
