World Class Philosophy and Debate for All

WELCOME TO MODUS PONENS INSTITUTE

 

At the Modus Ponens Institute, we empower students aged 7–18 worldwide to think clearly and debate boldly on the most pressing moral questions of our time — from ethics to AI and justice.

Whether you're joining from a school in London, a private academy in Nairobi, or a homeschooling group in New York, MPI offers rigorous challenges, expert feedback, and a truly global community of young thinkers.

We run three international circuits that train the next generation of ethical leaders.

TESTIMONIALS

Jesse Rumball Smith, Winner of the TKEthics Invitational Spring 2026, Deputy Head Boy at Wellington College New Zealand, accepted to Harvard University 2026

“So just the ability to look at the world around you with an entirely new lens on is one which… you don’t get lightly, and it’s something that I think I’ll get for the rest of my life … and that is the fundamental reason why I’d suggest anybody do it…  I think I might want to go into international policy and AI [at Harvard in 2026]”
