Are there schools that teach kids *how to think?*

As a new-ish mom, I’ve been thinking about education a lot. When I reflect on my personal education experience, the thing that bothers me the most was that I was never taught how to think. There was always a right or wrong answer, and that was it. It was a mentality I carried through university and even into my career. It even took another 10 years until I had a job that forced me to think critically for the first time ever. It was the most liberating and eye-opening experience ever. I can’t believe it took me 33 years to open my mind in that way. That’s probably a rant for another post, though. Anyway, I’m wondering if there are schools that teach kids how to think critically in this way. What would they be called? Do they have a certain philosophy?
