Statesman Debate Institute

I'm Dr Joe Arminio, Senior Instructor, SDI, and I'm here to help you win more debate rounds, learn powerful (classical), critical thinking skills and learn how politics and economics really work. 

Drawing upon many years in government affairs, and trained in political science, economics, history and classical rhetoric, I have applied myself to speech, debate and thesis coaching, beginning ten years ago. My colleagues and I, at the Institute, apply Classical Education to forensics and the humanities in many ways--including Public Forum, Policy, Congressional and Lincoln-Douglas debates, Model UN and Model Congress, AP History and even BA, MA and PhD Theses. 

Institute programs have benefited a great many students ranging from grades 6 to 12 to college. We have taught those as young as 4th grade and as old as 98!
