Instruction, Diversity, Experience, Safety, & Fun Make Capitol Classic the Best of the Best

We have a group of accomplished educators who have taught and competed for years. Our locations provide the resources, and recreation, to make every student’s stay rewarding. Our programs draw students from around the world. Our decades of experience let us create some of the safest, most secure academic programs in the country. However, the key ingredient we add, the ingredient that makes everything work together, is fun. Our students have fun.

They gain the skills they need to succeed in schools and careers. Our academic standards are high. Students are pushed to improve. They learn logic, critical thinking, leadership and teamwork, communication, organization, and research.  A solid foundation in these skills helps students gain college admission and scholarships. 

Capitol Debate lets your student learn from the best, with the best, at the best locations. It lets them have fun. That’s why Capitol Debate.
