Northwestern National High School Institute Policy Debate Program

Students will complete summer curriculum in debate fundamentals, will conduct in depth research into the annual debate topic, and receive lectures from top high school and college coaches in the country. Northwestern believes in a low student to faculty ratio so that each student gets dedicated attention from their lab instructors. Students conduct practice debates and speeches with lab leaders, so that they can work in depth over the course of the 4 weeks to identify the specific needs of each student for improvement.
