"After two year taking debate classes at Speech and Debate Academy, my 7th grade daughter's writing became clear and concise,
she improved her ability to think and listen critically, now she articulate her thoughts confidently and persuasively."

The Speech and Debate Academy is an accredited by Western Association School and Colleges (WASC) educational institution
which focuses on developing debate and presentation skills among children and teens through classes and speech and debate tournaments/competitions.
In speech and debate classes students develop skills which are necessary for them to be successful in school, college, and life. Students learn how to do research, persuasive speaking and writing, active listening, critical thinking, and cross-examination, and become confident presenters.
We accept students with all different levels to none of speech and debate experience and we will work tirelessly to bring all of our students to the highest level possible, however, if a parent does not cooperate with the goals of our teachers and administration we have the right to reject his/her student from the program.
We sincerely believe that every child has potential; thus, we work tirelessly with each of our students to unlock their full potential. We promote an encouraging educational environment with a focus on the ongoing improvement of skills. Our staff models positive and kind constructive feedback to encourage development and growth, and we teach our students to be compassionate and courteous in their interactions with their peers.
While victories at tournaments are definitely applause-worthy, we believe that the personal victories students attain advancing their abilities and growing their confidence are just as important. Thus, attendance at tournaments is encouraged but never mandatory.
Based on 50 years of experience in education, we believe that speech and debate is the single most valuable skill students can acquire in school, and that this skill is transferable to any desired career. The Speech and Debate Academy focuses specifically on developing debate skills among youths, and is one of the strongest divisions within the school.
For prospective students who have never joined our team and are interested in joining, please fill out an online Application Form to be accepted.
