Debate Class Description
____
This course is designed to give students a very solid and strong start to debate.
Without going through the Foundation course, students easily get lost, which hinders their improvement and affects their interest in debate. We believe that no one can succeed at a high level without learning the basic, fundamental skills.
This is why we ask all our students to complete a term of Foundations before moving into the Intermediate class.
