Debate Club
About This Program
The Debate Club helps students develop public speaking, critical thinking, and civic engagement through structured debate formats. In a school renowned for STEM excellence, the Debate Club addresses a crucial gap: ensuring students are not only technically brilliant but also effective communicators. In Armenia's competitive academic landscape, the ability to articulate ideas clearly, construct logical arguments, and engage in civil discourse is increasingly valued by universities and employers alike. Students participate in local and national debate tournaments, learning to present their ideas persuasively and think on their feet.
