What does it actually take to break into elimination rounds — and win debates that matter?

It’s not just confidence. It’s not just content.
It’s understanding the finer mechanics of debate — framing, weighing, strategic refutation, round vision, and performance under pressure.

Our Harvard Debate Masterclasses begin on 27th February and are designed as a structured progression.

These sessions go beyond basics. Students learn how rounds are actually judged, how winners are decided, and how to think strategically in competitive settings.

If your child is serious about debating — whether foundational or competitive — this is where real growth happens.

At the Harvard National Speech & Debate Tournament 2026—one of the largest and most competitive student debate tournaments in the world—students from Dhirubhai Ambani International School stepped onto a truly global stage.

Anahata Malur, Ria Sanghvi, and Anaya Deshmukh advanced to the Quarterfinals, competing against top debaters from across countries and school systems. Reaching this stage at Harvard reflects not only skill in argumentation, but the ability to think clearly, respond under pressure, and engage with complex global issues.

A special congratulations to Anaya Deshmukh, who was named Best Speaker in World Schools Debate — an exceptional achievement and a powerful recognition of intellectual clarity, confidence, and composure at the highest level of student debate.

The Harvard National Speech & Debate Tournament is known for its scale, intensity, and high standards. Performing at this level requires preparation, discipline, and the courage to compete with the best.

Proud of these young debaters for representing their school — and India — with integrity and strength.

This is what global readiness looks like.

If your child is ready to move from speaking confidently
to thinking sharply, arguing precisely, and competing globally,
this is where the journey begins.
