Developing Discussion
Debate at Sioux Falls Christian is open to all high school students, regardless of grade or experience. Students who are new to Debate, whether freshmen or seniors, will start off competing against other students of similar experience. Even if participating in other activities, students can join the Debate team, as the nature of preparation allows for flexibility.
Debating encourages the development of higher-order and critical thinking skills. It teaches students to structure and organize their thoughts while also developing their analytical and research skills.
Research, reasoning, and public speaking skills are just a few of the benefits that come with becoming a good debater.
