    2. Validity of Claim: Our training helps students evaluate the logical soundness of claims, teaching them to distinguish strong arguments from weak ones.

    3. Allocation of Time in Speech: We teach effective time management strategies, ensuring students can allocate their time wisely to address key points in their speeches and debates.


  2. Fallacies

    1. Recognizing Fallacies and Responding to Them: Students are trained to identify common logical fallacies and taught strategies to respond effectively, strengthening their ability to engage in thoughtful, reasoned discussions.


  3. Real-World Dilemmas in SDGs/UN: Students explore critical global issues outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), honing their skills in addressing complex, real-world dilemmas with depth and insight.


Our programs are differentiated for novice and junior varsity (JV) levels, with increasing complexity in topics and issues as students progress, ensuring a tailored learning experience for every student. At Ascent Academy, we equip students with the tools to think critically, argue persuasively, and engage with the world’s most pressing challenges.
