As a high school student, I find that a lot of philosophy is taught in English class. It is not a conventional style of teaching it though, but rather a "read this book, and find deeper meanings." A major focus is put on writing good persuasive essays, and that seems to be a major focus in philosophy. Sometimes you do end up a philosophical minority though.
