Middle School

Learn to debate. Properly.

A fall term for middle schoolers to build your debate fundamentals.

Fall 2026

  • Weekly Group Class

    One two-hour class a week for the whole term, taught by CME coaching staff.

  • 1-on-1 Lessons

    A set number of hour-long individual sessions with a coach, scheduled around your family's calendar. The count is agreed when you enroll and written into your agreement. Reschedule with 24 hours' notice.

  • Makeup Sessions

    Miss a group class and we cover the material one-on-one. A set number of makeups is included, so a sick day or a school event does not put your student behind.

  • Topic Prep

    Cases, blocks, and evidence for the topics your student will debate this term, prepared by our staff and taught in class.

  • Tournament Schedule

    We build a tournament schedule, tailored to your student's needs and goals.

  • Remote Tournament Support

    A coach on call during tournaments for pre-round strategy and between-round debriefs.

Who this is for

Middle schoolers with no debate experience, a school club behind them, or a few tournaments already. The interest form asks where your student is starting from, and we build your schedule around that.

Tournament entry fees and travel are not included.
