We had a similar course in high school at Bishop Carroll years ago. I thought it was a great idea. I learned so much.
By grade nine students are old enough to be able to decide want makes sense to them and what beliefs are important in their own life. There are also old enough to seek out and learn about other viewpoints.
EDIT: Sorry it said all grades BUT nine. I would like to know how much they teach the younger kids. But I would think that ages 14 and up it's a very good idea.
