Students are taught a curriculum that consists of topic lectures, skill-based lectures, workshops, collaborative research and case writing, speaking drills, and practice debates.

The content is geared towards acquiring the knowledge and skills to compete in speech and debate tournaments. Students will acquire lifelong skills in analytical thinking, and gain the ability to articulate oneself in anuanced, clear, and passionate manner.

Most group classes have 8-10 students. We also provide supplemental private classes to catch up or for intensive prep before a tournament.

Most group classes will have one head coach and one trainer.

BCFL competes in dozens of tournaments every year hosted locally, nationally, and internationally (primarily in the United States).

Major tournaments we attend every year include Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown, Princeton, Seattle University, and the NSDA Tournament of Champions.

All students can sign up for debate tournaments, provided that they meet the tournament's requirements.

Yes! We offer two summer camp sessions, one in July and one in August. The summer camps have three classes per week.
