​Amazing class!! Learned so mush and had a fun time doing it! Our teacher was awesome, and always answered my questions in a way that I could understand, and made sure everyone was included! I am a very outspoken person, and wasn't originally sure what I was going to get out of this class, but I feel like this class has improved both my debate and public speaking skills a lot! I loved this class so much! 10/10 definitely recommend!!!!!

Heather C.

My 13 year old daughter loves this class. I highly recommend this class to any parent who wants to see their child develop critical thinking, communication, and confidence! The teacher creates a positive and encouraging class environment and provides constructive feedback that helped my daughter improve her debate skills and prepares her debate tournaments.
