Do you think your child would benefit from debate? Critical thinking skills cultivated by debate are important for academic success, and recent studies demonstrate that children who participate in debate programs have 30-60% increased admission rates to elite colleges. But most of all, debate is a whole lot of fun; it’s a great way for kids to meet new friends and talk about important ideas.
This summer, the NCE Debate Institute will be holding a two week workshop for students who want to try debating. NCE Instructors are all former debate champions (including three MA State Champions) with years of coaching experience. The NCE curriculum covers every aspect of debate — from public speaking, to argumentative writing, to advanced research skills. Open to all MA students. Beginners are welcome. Visit newtondebate.com for more info.

How to Write Great College Essays, Thursday, August 21st, 7:00 pm: A lot of great kids write average (even bad) college essays—essays about “life lessons learned from football” or “how my trip to Europe broadened my cultural horizons.” Better tales are there for the writing. This workshop will show you what admissions officers really look for in great college essays, and offer suggestions for finding and sharing your best stories. We’ll share the five most over-used topics you must avoid and give you tips on how to start (and even finish) your essays this summer. Sara Kratzok, who graduated from both Wellesley College and Harvard University, and is the Director of Collegewise of Newton, will facilitate in Newton Free Library’s Druker Auditorium.
