Find Your Voice - It Matters.

Debate

Students learn how to use rhetoric and evidence through debate, forming a skillset that allows them to succeed in their future academic and professional careers.

From teaching students basic skills like writing speeches and presenting with confidence, to more advanced skills like dramatic interpretation and how to deliver impromptu speeches, FDT teaches it all.

Model UN

Model United Nations allows for our students to simulate discussions taking place in the UN through participating in different committees.

Scholar's Cup

The World Scholar’s Cup is a competition like no other, testing the skills of students in events such as essay writing, debate and quiz taking in teams of 3.
