Speech and Debate

"For the genuine orator must have investigated and heard and read and discussed and handled and debated the whole of the contents of the life of mankind, inasmuch as that is the field of the orator's activity, the subject matter of his study. For eloquence is one of the supreme virtues."

- Cicero

 

Words have power and learning to speak them with eloquence is important. Through speech and debate, students practice the art of clear thinking and confident speaking. They learn to express ideas with grace, listen with discernment, and engage in disagreement without division. Competition is not required, but for those interested there are optional tournaments.
