About Debate HK
We pride ourselves on being educators who believe that debate holds essential, life-long skills for all children.
Why we do it
It’s enjoyable
Debate is the ultimate way to spend an enjoyable two hours in a classroom. Most of the time we can’t understand where the time goes! Watching the battle of two world views for supremacy, seeing new and challenging takes on world issues and being there as young people begin to find their voice.
It represents 21st century education
Debate HK was originally started as a way of sharing the love of debate with others. We soon realised that it was far more than that. Education has shifted in the last few years to be much more focused on thought, analysis, problem solving, initiative and creative, independent thinking. Debate is perfectly positioned to be the best tool a student can use to become more able to thrive in the more fluid world of 21st century education. We believe that as important as what you think, is how you think. Being able to give young people a forum to question, reflect and evolve their thinking is not only a benefit but increasingly a necessity. Incidentally, one we are very proud to be involved in!

Our Talented Team of Instructors
Debate HK is not a tutorial center in the traditional way. We don’t run SAT classes or college admission tests. We are totally dedicated to two things: speech and thought. This is probably not surprising given the background of our founder and instructors.
We are people who have a passion for our arts to the point where we can confidently say that it isn’t what we do, it’s what we are. At Debate HK we prize passion, experience and total dedication to the craft above all else.
