Competitive Debate Club

This year-long course equips students to think critically, speak confidently, and compete with purpose. Led by national champion Sofia Christodoulou, students will build strong foundations in debate theory, case writing, and persuasive speech—all from a Christ-centered perspective. Students will actively participate in three national leagues: NCFCA (National Christian Forensics and Communications Association), ASDA (American Speech and Debate Association) and Incubate Debate. From writing cases to cross-examinations and tournament prep, students will be coached through every step of competition. Whether new or experienced, all students will grow in skill, strategy, and confidence as they learn to use their voice for God’s glory.
