Description

Level up communication, analysis, and leadership. In a supportive setting, new speakers start with shorter roles and partner prep time, while experienced students advance at pace. Weekly sessions combine targeted lessons with speaking drills, case building, and full practice debates. We work in Public Forum (current-issues debate) and two-team formats, emphasizing evidence, crossfire questioning, refutation, and persuasive closings. Teens build research habits, time management, collaboration, and stage presence that transfer to school presentations, interviews, and leadership roles. Small classes and clear feedback rubrics make progress tangible. The program concludes in a family showcase highlighting each participant’s skills.
