Benefits of Debate
Public Speaking & Logical Reasoning Skills
Debate turns students into confident, effective public speakers, as well as stronger interpersonal communicators. It strengthens one’s logical reasoning, critical thinking, research and writing skills, and more.
Better Standardized Test Scores
Studies show that students who engage in debate do better on standardized tests, including the SAT and ACT.
Stronger Academic Performance
Studies also show that students who debate have higher grades in school, on average.
Higher College Admission Chances
Colleges love to see debate listed on a student application. It shows them that the applicant is passionate about something outside of school, has strong public speaking skills, and is well-versed in current events.
A note on student growth
from our founder
One of the most heartwarming things to see as a debate coach is the growth of a student who transforms as someone who was previously shy or unconfident to someone who is more than willing to advocate for themselves.
