Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization

The Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization (PLATO) is a U.S. non-profit membership organization established in 2010 by a committee of the American Philosophical Association to promote philosophy to K-12 students.[1] An advocate for the Philosophy for Children movement, PLATO became an independent 501(c)(3) organization in 2012 and merged with the Center for Philosophy for Children in Seattle in 2022.[2] As a member of the UNESCO Chair program "Practices of Philosophy with Children," PLATO maintains affiliations with the University of Nantes and the University of Washington, as well as other institutions.[3]
