Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous debate experience?
No, PDI is available to students of all experience levels and age groups!
Do I have to pay for anything?
Our own services, such as lectures, files, and lessons, are completely free. However, tournaments often require mandatory fees in order to participate, and in-person tournaments have additional costs due to travel, rooming, food, etc. We can’t magically make necessary expense go away, but we can prevent any additional costs.
Will this really help with college applications?
Debate demonstrates passion, talent, dedication, and intelligence, all crucial aspects for admittance at top universities. In fact, many top universities including Harvard and Stanford have their own debate teams! That’s why debaters are statistically over four times more likely to get into top schools.
How long until my child becomes a successful debater?
That varies from person to person. Some may master debate within months, while others may take years to fully flourish. What we can ensure, however, is that you child will improve as fast as possible: we update our curriculum nearly every week with feedback from students, experts, and top debaters in order to ensure it is as efficient and beneficial as possible.
