Proud moment for Nova Debate Institute.

At the 40th Stanford Invitational (one of the largest and most competitive tournaments globally), our students broke into the Middle School Double Octofinals:
• Vivian Sally Wu (Hangzhou Basis International School)
• Eric Gao (William Hopkins Middle School)
• Leo Zou (Hangzhou Basis International School)

Competing on a stage jointly represented by Harvard Debate Council and Stanford Debate Society, this achievement reflects not just results, but the consistency of training, discipline, and long-term development at Nova.

We’re excited to see how far they go next.
