Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization

The Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization (PLATO) is a non-profit membership organization established to support the introduction of philosophy to pre-college students (K-12). It was established in 2009 by the American Philosophical Association's Committee on Pre-College-Instruction in Philosophy, and became an independent non-profit organization in 2012.[1] PLATO sponsors the annual journal Questions: Philosophy for Young People. The organization's memberships are managed by the Philosophy Documentation Center.[2]
