Inspira Learning Pathway
We take a holistic view toward development and success. We often recommend that students take up sports or other activities in order to provide a more well-rounded sense of accomplishment beyond academic results and the winning of competitive debates.
Regular semesters in the spring and fall seasons will be offered on two sets of 5+1 week modules. The +1 week will be used to conduct one of the following events
- Speech Showcase
- Mini Debate Tournament
- City-Wide Speech and Debate Tournament
- Majority of the Class Participating in a Major Tournament with the Coaches as Chaperones
Winter and summer seasons will offer targeted workshops in speech and debate. There will also be other enrichment programs offered depending on the availability of instructors.
