Alberta’s leading debate academy

Debate is the same activity that has sharpened the minds of influential people such as Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, and Malala Yousafzai. At Impact Debate Academy, students learn much more than just forming arguments. They are taught to master rhetoric and evidence, which helps them excel in their academic and professional lives. The skills gained in the classroom can be showcased at tournaments on provincial, national, and international levels, including in countries like the USA, Australia, and Singapore. Impact Debate Academy leads in teaching World’s Style, CNDF, Cross Examination, and British Parliamentary Debate.

Group Classes

We offer group lessons designed to provide students with a constructive and supportive environment to enhance their skills. One of the most effective ways to improve at debate is through practice with extensive feedback, and participating in a class with peers makes this possible. Our group lessons aim to transfer our coaches’ expertise to the students and encourage them to apply it through deliberate practice.
