In-Person Special Classes:
Each semester, we will organize a handful of in-person classes in the Bay Area. These will be organized well in advance. Since most our Advanced Debaters are scattered all over the Bay, we will send out a scheduling poll at the start of the term to determine optimal dates and time. These in-person special classes will be optional, but a great way for our advanced students to interact with each other, learn some unique in-person debate skills, and develop camaraderie with one another.  ​​​​​
