Students will learn what constitutes a complete argument. They will become better speakers and critical thinkers by learning to develop arguments and respond to their peers on the fly. They will also develop better listening and note taking skills.

The BCDA's founder has been run a competitive college debate team for twenty years. He has also run elementary and middle school debate workshops for the past four years both in the US and internationally. We have now taught well over a thousand kids from countries around the world digitally through this platform with great reviews. If for whatever reason you feel the class didn't live up to what you were looking for, please contact us for a refund. We are offering these courses as a way for students to get the benefits of debate and peer-directed education while schools are shutdown. Debate is not necessarily for everyone, but we are confident that if your kid is excited about it they will enjoy this class, and don't want you paying if that's not the case.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
