Level 1(9-12 years old)

Ignite your child’s critical thinking with our Level 1 Introduction to Debate, a premium summer program specifically designed for younger beginners aged 10 and up with no prior experience. This course provides a gentle yet rigorous introduction to English logic and Socratic reasoning, making it the perfect entry point for curious young minds looking to build confidence in public speaking.

Over 13 comprehensive sessions, students will master the industry-standard PEEL argumentation method and participate in high-energy mock debates on engaging, age-appropriate topics like banning homework or single-use plastics. To ensure every student thrives, our curriculum includes exclusive 1-on-1 coaching meetings during the first two weeks, all while maintaining a small cohort size of just 8 students for maximum personalized attention.
Level 2(12-15 years old OR previous DebateCraft experience OR up to 3 years of debate experience)

Level up your analytical skills with our Level 2 Intermediate Debate course, designed as a natural progression for older students or those who have successfully completed our foundational programs. While this course shares the core focus on structured argumentation found in Level 1, it introduces more complex challenges and a faster pace to keep developing debaters intellectually engaged. It is the perfect environment for students with prior DebateCraft experience or up to one year of background to sharpen their rebuttal techniques and dive deeper into strategic motion analysis. With a strict limit of 10 students per class, we ensure a high-energy, supportive atmosphere where students transition from basic public speaking to the rigorous logic required for long-term competitive success.
Level 3: WSDC (World Schools Debate) Mastery(13+, 3+ years of competitive debate experience)
Dominate the global stage with our Level 3 WSDC Mastery course, a high-performance track for experienced debaters aged 13 and older. This program is engineered for students with over two years of experience who are ready to master the art of the 5-minute speech and complex World Schools strategy. Across 10 specialized two-hour sessions, our expert coaches guide a maximum of 10 students through the nuances of style, content, and strategic preparation used in international championships. Level up your competitive edge this summer and join an elite cohort of peers dedicated to excellence in one of the world's most prestigious debate formats.

Level 3: British Parliamentary (BP) Competitive Track (13+, 3+ years of competitive debate experience)

Master the fast-paced world of university-style debating with our Level 3 BP Competitive Track, designed for students aged 13+ who have at least two years of experience. This course focuses on the unique demands of the British Parliamentary format, training students to deliver impactful 5-minute speeches with minimal preparation time. With a strict limit of just 9 students per class, every participant receives intensive feedback across 10 two-hour sessions, ensuring they master "extensions" and "POI" (Points of Information) techniques. This is the premier choice for students looking to develop the rapid critical thinking and public speaking skills required for the most challenging debate circuits.
Bioethics(13+ years old, some prior science education)

Explore the intersection of cutting-edge science and ethical philosophy in our Bioethics course, designed for inquisitive students aged 13 and up. This interdisciplinary program challenges students to tackle the complex moral dilemmas of modern medicine and biotechnology through 10 thought-provoking one-hour sessions. We maintain a strict limit of 10 students per class to foster deep, collegiate-level discussions on topics that shape our future. This course is perfect for students interested in medicine, law, or philosophy who want to develop a sophisticated framework for analyzing the most pressing issues in biological sciences today.
PF(13+ years old)

Master the art of persuasion in our Public Forum (PF) Mastery course, the go-to summer program for students aged 13+ looking to excel in this popular American format. Designed for students with prior experience, this course focuses on the balance between rigorous evidence-based research and persuasive delivery. Over 10 two-hour sessions, a small cohort of only 8 students will work closely with coaches to perfect their "crossfire" techniques and summary speeches. This course is essential for any student wanting to develop the professional communication skills and data-driven argumentation required for modern competitive success.
Level 4: Advanced BP Tournament Lab(15+ years old, 5+ years of competitive debate experience)
Reach the pinnacle of competitive debate in our Level 4 Advanced BP Tournament Lab, an elite program for students aged 15 and up with over five years of experience and a proven tournament track record. This intensive workshop is designed for high-level debaters who can already deliver sophisticated 8-minute speeches and are looking to refine their case-building for international competition. We focus on deep matter-loading, advanced strategic weighing, and nuanced motion analysis to prepare you for the highest levels of academic competition.
