Spring 2025 After-School Classes
At Atlas Debate, students learn how to create arguments through research and logic, refute them, and cross examine their opponents. Students learn to analyze news and reports on a unique policy topic, and each class concludes with a mock tournament with 3 rounds where students practice the skills they learned. Class sizes are capped at 8 students — ensuring individual attention for all students.
For new students: After-school classes are an excellent introduction to debate for shy students or students with no experience. Students will be paired with other inexperienced students, and build confidence and public speaking skills, before learning argumentation and debate!
For experienced students: Returning students are paired with other experienced students. Classes dive into more advanced debate techniques, along with tougher practice debates that will continue to challenge students. Students will be pushed to research complex topics related to international relations, financial policy, and more!
