Studies consistently reveal that students engaged in debate not only experience a 36% boost in standardized testing scores but are also 7 times more likely to secure admission to an Ivy League university.
If you're interested in getting your child involved in debate, check out Libertas Debate Academy: a premier online debate camp from June 24th to July 8th tailored towards coaching students to excel at national tournaments like Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton. Our camp warmly welcomes kids of varying experience levels, ranging from absolute beginners to seasoned national debaters.
Many parents often ask me what makes Libertas Debate so unique. Here』s my answer:
National Debate Champions: We are the only debate camp in the world that ensures every instructor is a USA National Debate Champion, with our coaches winning tournaments like NSDA Nationals, Stanford, Columbia, and the Tournament of Champions (over 28 national championships in total). Each student is guaranteed to work 1-on-1 with a national champion to hone their critical thinking and persuasive communication skills.
Accessibility: Debate is widely expensive, and current debate camps charge their students over $3,500. We aim to offer superior levels of teaching at a cost over $2,000 cheaper than alternatives. During our two-week camp session, students will gain over 100 hours of personalized coaching from the best debaters in the country for a fraction of the price.
Sculpting Leadership in Debate: Unlike other debate programs, beyond teaching students how to win tournaments, we also emphasize the importance of becoming leaders in the community. Every instructor has extensive experience leading 501(c)(3) nonprofits in debate, impacting tens of hundreds of debaters worldwide while getting acceptances to top universities like Harvard, Yale, Duke, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania. We aim to teach students how they can leverage debate to gain leadership and create impact, making long-lasting strides for future college applications.
