Our seminar classes are modeled and inspired by the “Harkness” and “Socratic” methods.
We have designed these lectures to emphasize the importance of discussions and to teach students to develop their beliefs and answers.
Debate is skill-based, so we prioritize real debate simulations over information overload. Each week, we start with content-focused lessons on topics like philosophy, politics, and economics, followed by sessions where students apply what they've learned through simulations, practice speeches, and strategy games.
Our iPhone, Android app, and online platform offer easy access and progress tracking. The platform provides detailed stats on attendance, participation, test results, and engagement, allowing us to tailor and improve our teaching to meet student needs.
