Spring registration for my Speech and Debate class is now open for new and current students. This class is for 6th-9th graders (mature 5th graders will be considered) and can count for high school credit if desired. I love teaching Speech and Debate and am excited for another semester to learn how to effectively defend, question and expand understanding through the art of argumentation. Here's a great article discussing the value of Speech and Debate for our students. https://info.veritasacademy.com/headmasters-blog/good-debate-and-public-discourse-teaching-kids-to-argue-well
"We must give students ample time to put good debate, reasoning, and critical thinking skills into practice. As they get used to doing it and discover that they can disagree and still be friends, fruitful disagreement can become a healthy and productive part of their life."
Here's the registration link:

America has seen what a poor debate can look like, and it's disastrous. Classical Christian education trains students in the art of productive discourse.
