An NCFCA Speech and Debate Co-op
High school and middle school speech and debate co-op

Why a speech and debate co-op? What is different about our co-op from others, from private school?

​

Developing a Christian Worldview:

Being a Christian is not the same as having a Christian Worldview.  The former happens once, the latter develops over time and with effort.  As you have the opportunity to discuss issues of the world as well as deeper philosophical issues, you are given the opportunity time and time again to pour into your children your Christian worldview and encourage them to form and articulate their own out of that place of discussion and formation with you and like minded teachers. This helps to develop solid foundations of faith through this collective effort of Christ centered learning. 

Inspiration and motivation:
In a traditional classroom or even a home-school "classroom", there would likely be not competent discussion on international terrorism policies, national policy change in regarding higher education or abolishing the SSTL.  Why is the unchanging nature of God critical to who He is?  What is the real cost difference between fair trade and free trade?  Why does this matter?  The topics are endless and everyone is engaged and intrigued in turn.  Your hope for the future and the next generation will be restored as you watch your young leaders grow.
