The World’s First and Only Debate Competition Built on the Hexa Argumentum™ Framework.

Our vision is not simply to engage your students in debate competition. It is to help transform the lives of so many more students and prepare them to lead in school, college, careers, and their communities.

Critical Thinking

Every child deserves the chance to develop the confidence to speak, lead, defend, and think critically.

Motivational Teaching

Combine competition with motivation, instruction, and academic growth so our kids will want to compete.

Academic Growth

Make high-quality debate experience accessible to many more as less the 1% currently participate in organized debate activities.

Proven Experience

Use decades of experience helping students to overcome barriers and build confidence and skills to compete.
