DISCLAIMER: Because of limited bandwidth, we will be capping this year’s program at ~24-30 4th-5th grade students. Students will be admitted on a first come, first serve basis. All students beyond capacity will be put on a waitlist.

Fremont Debate Academy (FDA), a 501 © (3) non-profit organization, will be running its 1st annual MSJE Debate program. It will be led by MSJE teacher Mr. Michael Tutty and HS student co-leads Sophia Doan & Sai Aditya Koorapati. This program is only for 4th-5th graders and is running as part of an official partnership with Fremont Unified School District. Students will learn various structured forms of argumentation, and research techniques. Through practice sessions, drills, and mini-competitions, students’ public speaking skills will be vastly improved. At the end of the school year, all students can participate in the FDA international tournament!
