http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/445969/Do-any-high-school-students-study-Philosophy-or-Religious-Studies-in-grade-1213-in-the-US Hello I will be moving to LA in the autumn with my husband and I am curious about whether there is any possibility of me finding work as a teacher of these subjects. I realise that unlike England where all students must study Religious studies throughout their schooling it is not a curriculum subject in the US. I have heard that some private schools do offer this subject. If any parents out there have a son or daughter who stuides either of these I would be interested to know of their experiences? I teach mainly moral philosophy, epistemology and aesthetics to Year 12 and 13 at the London school I am in at the moment and would like to find teaching work in LA at some point as I will miss the students I work with so much. Young people are the best people to work with somehow!
