CTR Factor Debate Academy
Empowering Student Leaders
Personalized, assessment-led coaching that builds confident, college-ready communicators.
Every student starts with a free assessment. From there we build a coaching plan around their actual starting point, goals, and readiness — not a fixed camp calendar.
Operated under CTR Factor Non-Profit Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization expanding access to student debate, leadership, and college-readiness training.
Grants & Donors →Assessment first. Then a plan built for your student.
We don't guess and we don't run a one-size-fits-all camp. A short free assessment gives us a baseline, and coaching targets exactly what will move your student fastest.
