What categories are offered?

Our remote courses were all designed by award-winning coach Sasan Kasravi, creator of Proteus Debate Academy.

Sasan has coached hundreds of debaters to success. Last year alone, his alumni won three collegiate national championships in debate.

  • In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of public speaking, argumentation, refutation and taking notes during a debate. Three class sessions will be tournaments where students will compete against other students and receive personalized feedback on their performance.

    This course is designed for all students in grades 6-8. No prior Speech & Debate experience is required.

  • Monday night labs are a unique opportunity for high school students to receive personalized advanced coaching in Congressional Debate. Each week, students will begin the lab by participating in a debate or exercise, after which they will get feedback and instruction directly tailored to their needs.

    There are limited seats available for this course; sign up now to reserve your spot!

  • A class for experienced students in grades 9-12 actively competing in Public Forum Debate. This class focuses on lectures, drills, and exercises meant to push students who already know how to construct effective Public Forum cases to the next level.
