Excellent Town Education 棒棒学堂

This year, an incredible 6 out of the 12 members of Team Canada Debate come from FDT! 👏👏👏

As Fostering Debate Talent FDT’s partner in Burnaby, Excellent Town is proud to bring high-quality Public Speaking and Debate programs to local students.

Many parents think debate is simply about “speaking well,” but effective debate training goes far beyond that. It helps students develop:

✅ Logical and analytical thinking
✅ Public speaking and communication skills
✅ Quick thinking and adaptability
✅ Confidence and leadership
✅ Critical thinking abilities

While competition results are certainly impressive, these lifelong skills are what truly support students’ future academic and personal success.

We are incredibly proud to see more and more students grow through structured training and step onto bigger stages. ❤️

oday, we were honored to welcome Burnaby Central MP Wade Chang to Excellent Town Education for a special visit and tour✨

During his visit, Wade Chang learned more about our STEAM learning environment and saw firsthand how robotics, coding, and science experiment programs help children develop creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills💡

He also shared that STEAM education plays an important role in helping shape Canada’s next generation of innovators, leaders, and critical thinkers. It was encouraging to see such strong community support for children’s education and future growth ❤️
