The question is, what will make the difference in the life of your son or daughter?

Persistence & determination
Confidence
Ability
Communication & critical thinking skills

All of these elements are fundamental to an individuals success in nearly every walk of life, educational & business environments. At Jumping Brain it is our mission to instill them in the students of our debate program.

The means whereby we pursue this goal are simple and effective. From day one of class, the students are groomed to compete in formal debate tournaments. Their public speaking skills are nurtured and honed through frequent, in-class presentations. Their research, analysis and composition aptitude grow through biweekly, topic-oriented assignments which the students use to prepare for in-class, team debates with their fellow pupils. When the time comes to enter the arena of inter-club competition, the typical Jumping Brain debate student has undergone a transformation, having been equipped with the tools they need, not only to succeed in the context of the tournament, but in all of life.

Welcome to the Jumping Brain community. Your child's future awaits!

Student Testimonials

"When I first came to the Jumping Brain debate class, I was afraid to stand up in front of even one person and speak. I was so nervous! But after a few weeks of practice, I got so much more comfortable. I never thought of myself as the kind of person who would ever enjoy delivering a message in public to an audience of people I had never met. Now that is exactly who I have become! It is thrilling."	Jeanie Park, Jumping Brain Alumnus & Winning Team Member
"Debate, to me, used to just mean arguing. I never realized how much more there is to it! During the duration of the class, it became clear to me that debate involves everything from reading comprehension, study skills, vocabulary, critical thinking & logic, poise & confidence... the list goes on!"	Mary Myunghwa Han, Jumping Brain Alumnus & Tournament Finalist
"I am so glad I got the chance to take this class. There is no doubt that it will end up being a huge factor in my college studies & continue to impact my life as a source of positive power."	Steve Kim, Jumping Brain Alumnus and Debate Club Team Captain
