Debate, MUN and Public Speaking

Open to students in 7th-12th grade, Model UN is focused on learning research skills, public policy, and negotiation skills. While less formal than debate in some ways, it requires a lot of academic prowess. We have class on Friday mornings and attend conferences - but conference attendance is not required. Students who are in debate are also welcome to join us for Model UN conferences.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be in a court room? Mock Trial is a simulation of a real trial. The official CT competition is in December each year, we offer both middle school and high school mock trial throughout the year. 

Speech and Debate is on hiatus for Spring of 2026 to accommodate our demanding Model UN schedule this year, but we will return in the fall. Formal debate is a skill both in logic and argumentation, as well as research, public speaking and more! High school debate meets online on Monday evenings (note that most tournaments are online), and middle school debate meets before Mock Trial.
