Advanced Debate Program: For grades 8 to 12 - One year of debate experience and must have participated in some tournaments. 14-week program, 1.5 hours each day. Additional 10 sessions for extra practice during the semester (Tournament Prep).

The class will focus on thoughtful and logical construction of arguments, understanding the order and structure of a debate, and building confidence in delivering speeches. Debate drills, 1:1 mock practice, learn advanced strategies, cross-examination, flowing, and rebuttal. Students practice speaking fluently and persuasively.
