Junior Debate is an in-person weekly class where students learn the foundations of debate through engaging, fast-paced debate duels.
Students learn how to build a strong argument, give clear reasons, listen to different perspectives, and respond thoughtfully with confidence.
Through playful topics and structured debate rounds, students develop the core skills behind effective debate:
organizing ideas
supporting opinions with examples
responding to opposing viewpoints
respectful disagreement
partner collaboration
confident delivery
thinking on their feet
Junior Debate is designed to make debate approachable and exciting for younger students while building the communication and critical-thinking skills they will carry into future debate, leadership, and academic experiences.
Every Junior Debate student participates in a culminating Debate Duel Showcase in front of a parent audience.
Semester students complete one final debate experience.
Full-year students continue building stronger arguments, sharper responses, and more confident delivery before participating in a second culminating debate round.
