1. Engaging Online Class
Hour-long labs run once a week over video call. We guarantee a 5:1 student-to-staff class ratio. Expert instructors lead small groups, organized by age and experience level feature individualized lessons and engaging activities to reinforce learning.
"Not only did I feel like my instructor was very clear and helpful in teaching lessons and giving us revisions for our cases, it was a very fun class that allowed me to practice my public speaking and debate skills through the activities during class." - Christine, E-ADI student |
2. Reinforcement Activities
We will assign digital homework assignments throughout the week, as well as offer additional enrichment activities for students, which will supplement virtual lab curriculum. Instructors are available for private conferencing to all students.
"I feel that debate is a life skill. ADI has given me the courage to hopefully someday become a lawyer. If you are a student who wants to step outside your comfort zone, ADI is a great option! I give ADI 5 stars!!!" -Karen, E-ADI student |
3. Progress Evaluations
Instructors will be in frequent communication with families over the course of the program with feedback about homework, class participation, and speech and debate progress. These goal-oriented evaluations help outline specific student progress.
"We really appreciate the instructor’s weekly email on progress check ... From these emails, I am impressed by how the instructors get to know the students’ debate style and capability and even personality so well in such a short period of time." -Jenny, E-ADI parent |
