To truly master public speaking and debate, students need experience with it outside a classroom setting.

Our students will have the opportunity to attend the following events, hosted by prestigious universities:
Stanford University High School Speech & Debate Invitational
Harvard University High School Speech & Debate Invitational

At the Vancouver Institute of Public Speaking and Debate, we are dedicated to empowering youth through the art of communication.
