"This is a fantastic class! My teenage son loves this one. He looks forward to this class and after class he enjoys sharing the details of the debate with me. This is quite amazing being he is a teenager and he generally just shrugs and says things are okay. "

'We are so glad to have found this debate class. The teacher is extremely knowledgeable and strikes the right balance between providing guidance and support when needed but also giving kids room to explore and develop the debating style that is best suited for their personality and communication preferences. This class has provided an opportunity for my child to broaden her viewpoint, learn to collaborate with others and develop critical thinking skills. The teacher also does a phenomenal job to encourage my child try different roles in debating and provide astute observations on debate dynamics and skills"

Ying D, Level 2 debate

"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, Teen Beginner Debate
 

"We were looking for a debate program for our son that would teach him the basics of logical argumentation and critical thinking, and give him some practice with public speaking as well. We had tried another program previously, but it was really geared toward rigorous preparation for competitive debate and required a lot of research and preparation outside of the class. This class is the perfect level of support and challenge for him. The teacher is engaging, encouraging, and makes sure that the class is a positive experience for all the kids."

Kelly D, Teen Beginner Debate

Gracious, Read & Tell a Story (Level 1)

​"Our leaner really likes the [class] format, and their self confidence has gone up in other classes, as well as in person classes when they have to do presentations in front of the rest of the class. Our learner felt that people who have a hard time reading out loud or public speaking, this would be a good class for them to get that practice."

"My husband came to the conclusion that our daughter would have a blast if we enrolled her in a public speaking and debate class. He was right! The teacher selects thought provoking questions that seem to spark the interest of our inquisitive teen and she looks forward to interacting with her classmates every week. We’ve also noticed a boost in her confidence and communication skills!"
