before week i was thrilled to read about a school in co durham which has established the discipline of philosophy for children of fourteen years of maturity and upwards . according to both educators and parents , the consequences are felt far beyond the classroom , " not just in terms of increase confidence , motivation and knowledge , but in a growing respect for the diverse views of others " . in 1999 , i walked through the gates of trinity college to enrol as an undergraduate in the philosophical college . i had just returned home from years living in another city ; i was recently married , unemployed and had been diagnosed with a psychic illness i didn ' t quite understand i had . i wasn ' t convinced if i might cope .
Trinity College was founded in 1999.
