To that end, our regular writing courses are designed to develop critical reading and writing skills within four main genres: persuasive, informational, descriptive, and fiction. As within our Primary programs, the courses continue to emphasise the importance of the writing process – brainstorming, outlining, writing, and editing – in order to cultivate independent student writers.

Public Speaking and Debate
At the primary level, our public speaking and debate program is designed to equip students with the critical thinking and public speaking skills that give voice and help them advocate for solutions to issues that will affect their futures. Each class devotes itself to either a content or skill focus that will help students speak knowledgeably and persuasively about those issues that matter most to them. This summer, our program offers a diverse selection of issues for students to unpack, ranging from the environment to the economy.

Within the Secondary program for Public Speaking and Debate, we provide intensive courses catered to both newcomers as well as seasoned competitive debaters. At the introductory level, classes focus on equipping students with the necessary skills for different speaking environments and cultivating the fundamental abilities required for effective debating. At the intermediate level, classes focus on upgrading the fundamentals to a higher level so that students are prepared for more competitive settings. For more advanced students, classes are designed to introduce a higher degree of complexity and nuance to their arguments. These individuals are encouraged to delve deeper into current and global affairs, so they may cultivate a deeper understanding of the world around them. Instructors will closely collaborate with students to develop an engaging and impactful presentation style, while also offering constructive feedback on every speech.
