9Rome is a philosophy program for adolescents aged 11–18 in Paphos, Cyprus, developed independently by professional philosophers. Building on three years of independent success, 9Rome is now evolving into a strategic partnership with the IAPC (Montclair State University) to become the first certified center for philosophical inquiry in Cyprus.

In our Community of Inquiry, teenagers participate in democratic, reflective, and creative dialogue. Philosophy here is not only a subject — it is a practice that develops judgment, curiosity, and ethical awareness.

• Critical Thinking: Evaluating evidence and questioning assumptions.

• Creative Thinking: Finding new perspectives and "thinking outside the box."

• Caring Thinking: Respecting others' views and valuing the group's progress.

• Collaborative Thinking: Building on each other's ideas to reach deeper truths.

The 9Rome Journey: After engaging in our inquiry-led sessions, students don't just walk away with facts — they leave with an intellectual toolkit:

• Articulate Argumentation: The ability to defend views with logic rather than volume.

• Reflective Confidence: Self-assurance in public speaking born from a deep understanding.

• Ethical Maturity: A stronger grasp of their own values in a complex modern world.

• Academic Edge: Diploma in Philosophical Inquiry & Critical Thinking and an intellectual portfolio (essays and projects) that stand out to universities.
