 "Speech & debate sharpens kid's ability to think and listen critically and articulate their thoughts confidently and persuasively. The ability to think critically is essential for our children today, who are being bombarded with humanistic ideas and political agendas in movies, TV, social media, music, literature, and even their textbooks. 
I am looking to see my child grow in the ability to analyze ideas, and articulate his views confidently and persuasively setting them apart in whatever field he pursues despite the hardships​," said one of our parents.  ​
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 the potential to be a Young Genius, and we work tirelessly with each of our students to unlock their full potential.  We promote an encouraging educational environment with a focus on 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 defi nitely applause-
worthy, we believe that the personal victories students

attain advancing their abilities and growing their
confi dence 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.


The Speech and Debate Academy is currently accepting applications for new members for  July 1, 2020- May 31, 2021 school year.  Please visit the  School Year Schedule and Registration pages for further information.
