Paul and Robert Rose are top-notch debate instructors and have created a program that caters to kids of varying skill-sets and prior experiences, and in a very short time gets them to be confident and fluent in the art of debating…I could see the development in my 12 year old daughter and the general confidence she has displayed in her demeanor as part of taking this class.

Beginning Debate is a well organized course that covers the foundation of debate in a clear and concise manner. My middle school children were able to learn much from the excellent teachers, Bob and Paul Rose. The Rose brothers kept the class focused and interesting. Examples and exercises made concepts come to life. My children really enjoyed the end of the course debate competition. For us, the course was well worth the one hour commute (each way), and we all are looking forward to joining them for another summer of debate.
