WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Sinchana, 7th Grade
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! It's hard to find a debate class before high school, and it gives me SO MUCH experience for me to do debate in high school. You guys were the best teachers ever!
Catharyn, 8th Grade
This was such a good experience for me. It has taught me so much, and I will take the stuff I have learned here throughout the rest of my life.
Carina, 11th Grade
The instructor did a good job engaging us in whatever was being talked about. Also, because she spoke from her personal experience, I felt that I was able to learn a lot better and grasp a better understanding of public speaking skills. I feel that I am a lot more excited for my future public speaking, debating, and doing Model UN.
