Lesson Information
Schola Education offers weekly online group debating lessons (session times will be confirmed based on student availability). If you're interested, we encourage you to contact us early to secure a place.
​
Monthly in-person workshops are held on the first Monday of each month in the afternoon (Auckland).​
​
We recommend group lessons, as debating is interactive. Students learn best by debating against others, receiving live feedback, and developing their argumentation, rebuttal, and public speaking skills in a realistic competitive environment.
