Debate is a combination of arts and science.

The nature of competing motivates you to thrive for a better performance, however attaches you with a possibility of losing. The class itself is a life lesson. No one can win with mere articulation; neither can you triumph with bare evidence. The balance has to be struck between the art of persuasion and rationale of statistics. It signifies the importance of all-round development. The beauty of debate lies in its very nature: It is not at all easy to maintain a record of championship, while not difficult to outperform oneself by practices and experiences.

Debate is an integrated training on rational thinking and presentation. It is never too early, nor too late to learn. At an early age, your kids will gain an edge in polishing their presentation skills. As your kids grow mature, they will benefit from the early exposure to rational thinking.

There is no doubt that debate plays a particularly important role in the current education system and the modern world of new era. We believe that equipping ourselves for the challenges ahead will always ensure our chance to triumph.
