Critical thinking, Public Speaking, and Writing Skills!
In this program, students will learn the basics of Public Forum Debate, which is the primary debate format at highschool debate tournaments in the US. Your child will learn to write a case, conduct research, use evidence, give rebuttals, and engage in cross examination. Students will also get a lot of practice with speaking confidence, projection, body language, tone, and poise.
The program culminates in a full debate tournament, where students will have the opportunity to compete in three debate rounds, get feedback from judges, and win awards!
This is a high-energy, active program filled with fun speaking games and activities that your child will absolutely love! And our instructors are friendly, warm, and great at making public speaking exciting. Your child will develop their public speaking confidence, and have a really enjoyable summer experience as well!

4:1 Student Teacher Ratio
We've found that, especially for online coaching, having a small class size is absolutely critical for making sure that every student gets to speak - even our shy or more reluctant students! The 4:1 student teacher ratio also means that our instructors really get to know each child's strengths and weaknesses and provide targeted coaching throughout the week.
Private Coaching Built-In
The most effective teaching we do is in one-on-one coaching with students. These highly-focused sessions lead to immense growth in each student's capabilities, because they get immediate feedback on their volume, voice, and tone. Our schedule has been designed to emphasize one-on-one coaching, personal feedback, and lots of speaking practice!
