Frequently Asked Questions

How many people are in each class?

During our year-round program, classes cap at 8 students. Our program functions under a first-come first-serve basis, meaning that in the situation in which we do end up exceeding our class limit, your child is not guaranteed a spot in this program. They can, however, choose to be put on our waitlist in case other students decide to drop out. The waitlist, too, functions on a first-come first-serve basis. Any students that are not enrolled in our year-round program due to capacity restraints will be prioritized if they choose to partake in our summer program.

Is there homework for this class?

Yes, there is homework in this program (Sorry!). That being said, we understand that our students have lives outside of debate, and so we will try to limit that to the best of our abilities. The workload will be heavier for programs including tournaments, for outside preparation will be necessary for success in our tournaments.

Is this program fun?
We sure hope!
