In 2021, for the first time, we introduced Stoic Week for Students, a brand new version of Stoic Week designed to me more accessible to school-age students.

Stoic Week for Students took place 18-24 October 2021.

NEW for 2021: Stoic Week for Students

  • You asked for it! People are always asking for Stoic materials for children and teens, so we created this special version of Stoic Week just for teenagers.
  • The course is designed for classroom teachers, but parents can also use it with their kids at home. The handbook comes with a teacher’s guide, with extra activities and resources including audio.
  • Suggested ages are 13-15, but teachers and parents can adapt the materials for older or slightly younger children.
  • Topics include happiness, resilience, managing emotions, friendship, community, nature, identity, and character.
  • Download the pdf version of the handbook below.

Below you will find the Stoic Week for Students Handbook and an Instructor’s Guide that teachers can use with students whenever they wish in schools or other settings.

These resources are also available in Spanish (by Maria Isabel Salinas):
