How Our Debate Classes Work

At Civic Debate Academy, we believe high-quality debate education should be accessible, competitive, and fair. Our students succeed in national tournaments not just because they’re trained well — but because our program is structured, transparent, and values-driven.

💡 Our Ethos

We prioritize educational integrity, small group engagement, and individualized feedback. Classes are capped at 10 students, so every student gets meaningful interaction and attention.

💸 Transparent Pricing

Unlike many debate programs, we don’t upcharge tournament fees. What you see is what you pay — no hidden coaching fees, admin charges, or “required” bundles.
