Speech & Debate

Class overview

Speech and debate classes provide a unique opportunity for students to improve their communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and confidence in public speaking. These classes often cover a wide range of topics, from persuasive speeches to argumentative debates, and teach students how to effectively research, organize, and present their ideas. 

Our classes typically start by teaching fundamental skills, such as proper posture, breathing techniques, and vocal projection. As students progress, they learn more advanced skills, such as effective storytelling, persuasive speaking, and impromptu speaking. Public speaking classes will include opportunities for students to practice their skills in front of their peers, receive constructive feedback, and refine their techniques. Whether someone is a novice or an experienced speaker, our public speaking classes can help them develop the skills and confidence necessary to communicate effectively in any setting.
