Saints Forensics is a chapter of STOA, a national Christian homeschool speech and debate organization. Students learn to think critically, engage graciously, and speak boldly from a Biblical worldview.
Saints Forensics hires experienced coaches to lead, teach, and train students and parents in the art of forensics. This is not a drop-off program. Parents are expected to engage through assigned classroom attendance, student preparation, and judging in both classroom and tournament settings.
Students learn the fundamentals of speech preparation, organization, and delivery. They are introduced to the full range of STOA speech events, receive guided instruction and feedback, and focus on one to three events during their first year of competition.
Students review the full range of STOA speech events, strengthen research and content development, refine delivery and persuasive impact, and continue mastering chosen events through regular practice and tournament participation.
Students are introduced to team policy debate structure and terminology, build an affirmative case together, learn proper research practices, use prepared casebooks and negative briefs, and apply skills in mock and qualifying tournaments.
Students who have received systematic training and competed in qualifying tournaments write their own cases, conduct research, participate in brief sharing, and sharpen their skills through in-class practice and qualifying tournaments.
