Service Description
DISCLAIMER: This class only has ONE(1) class for grades 6-8. This is a rigorous course designed to elevate skills to the advanced level. We recommend this class if your child is experienced in debate or is capable of taking on a challenge. Congressional Debate is a high-energy, intellectually rich course where students step into the shoes of U.S. legislators to write, present, and debate original bills and resolutions on real-world issues. Blending persuasive speaking, critical thinking, and quick rebuttals, this format challenges students to not only craft compelling arguments but to think on their feet and respond in real time—just like in actual congressional sessions. It's an exciting, collaborative environment that builds leadership, confidence, and a deep understanding of how policy and debate intersect. Perfect for students who love to speak, think deeply, and make their voices heard—this course is a standout favorite for a reason. COURSE INSTRUCTOR: TBD INSTRUCTOR NOTE: TBD
