Learn to become more effective at persuasion, whether in a debate or in life. Because debate is a structured argument about a given resolution, students learn persuasion, nuance, and how to use evidence to further their cases. Be prepared to argue either side of the resolution with little preparation time! Debate is a partner event teaching students to learn to work effectively as a cohesive unit and maintain excellent internal communications during a debate round. Taught by The Potomac School’s nationally regarded coaching staff, students use their voices to advocate for, or to refute the resolution.

This program will end at 4:00 pm everyday. All debate students must be picked up at carpool each day because we do not have bus service available at that time.
