Curriculum Reimagined — Civic Debate Academy 2026

Our next evolution to prepare the confident communicators and leaders of tomorrow.

Led by Dylan Pope, an Emmy Award–winning expert in children’s educational media, and developed with educators from the University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, and the University of Texas at Austin, we’ve taken our learning-by-doing philosophy to the next level.

Our first step is an ambitious curriculum upgrade that expands every aspect of the learning experience — time, depth, and value — to help students debate, think, and lead at their highest potential.
