DEBATE CLUB
Students learn the art of persuasion and help select debate topics they find interesting. Students work in rotating groups and practice their debating skills in a supportive environment, including developing arguments, issuing rebuttals, providing examples, rebuilding their case and summarizing points of view. Young debaters learn to think on their feet and enhance their public-speaking skills, gaining self-confidence in the process.

Parents value the important life skills students gain and kids enjoy the different themes related to business and money, as well as the fun atmosphere.
