spring 2023


​☻ 9 January 2023 - 2 June 2023 ☻
FOR REGULAR START PROGRAM
Middle School/High School Program
GRADES 6-12

NEW BEGINNER COMPETITIVE SPEECH AND DEBATE

We want our child to compete. Our child will be competing for the academy and/or their school team. The goal is to get students to actively compete in this activity during the year to build a passion for this activity in the long run. My child may or may not have experience. - GRADES 6-12

​
Class Descriptions:
☻Daily guided lectures for their respective speech and events. 
☻NSDA & CHSSA approved speech events will be offered: Impromptu and Oratorical Interpretation 
☻Students will get several opportunities to perform and debate at competitions during the semester. These will be primarily online with some in person if and when it is permissible.
☻Students will learn via lectures and competitions the formats of Lincoln Douglas for the first half before finishing the semester doing Public Forum

Pre-Requisites:
  • ​This class is designed for students with little to no experience in speech, but who are preparing to compete at tournaments during the school year.
  • Students must be able to participate at least one competition/scrimmage per event taught (One in Impromptu and one in Oratorical Interpretation, one for Lincoln Douglas and One for Public Forum).
  • Failure to do so means we ask you to join the educational class the following semester or you repeat the beginner course until you have completed the participation requirements.

​Note: We will accept the first 8 students who enroll in each class and wait listing the rest until we confirm another instructor for in person classes.

​Online classes we will accept as many students as we have coaches to maintain an 8:1 student to teacher ratio

​

​Tuition:
$2095 for twice-a-week online classes
$2495 for twice-a-week in-person classes
