Shane Krauser, the director of Veritas Debate Academy, has brought his educational innovation, academic vigor, and excitement for the younger generation to learn important skills to the homeschooling world.
“After some prodding from families in Utah and Arizona, we started Veritas Debate Academy in 2024. After studying some of the demands within the homeschooling community, I knew we could meet some of those needs head on. Our welcome into the homeschooling realm has been electrifying,” said Krauser, a former adjunct professor of constitutional law.
Veritas Debate Academy is completing their second semester, and they are preparing for an invigorating Summer 2025.
The Academy will offer both online and in-person opportunities, and the curriculum covers, among other things, speech and debate, having influence, and a bootcamp focused on both liberty and leadership principles.
In addition to weekly classes, the Academy’s students engage in speech and debate tournaments to showcase and practice the skills they have learned throughout the semester.
Shane Krauser, an author and nationally-acclaimed speaker, is the lead instructor for all of the current courses, and parents and students alike have given rave reviews of their experience with Veritas Debate Academy.
Savannah C., a student from El Mirage, AZ, said, “Mr. Krauser is the best teacher I have ever had. He has brought out the best in me, and I absolutely love his classes.”
Hans Van Den Elzen, a parent of one of the Academy’s students, said, “I signed up my son and a few of his friends for a course put on by Veritas Debate Academy, which was taught by Shane Krauser. They all love the course and enjoy sharing the experience each week.”
Summer classes meet two hours weekly for 10 weeks, and the tuition is $275. The three-day bootcamp is $200. ESA (Empowerment Scholarship Account) funds are accepted, and sibling discounts are available.
Shane Krauser finds the experience of educating the youth incredibly enjoyable.
“Every week, our students debate a variety of issues, challenge one another, learn to lead, develop a love of freedom, and respect one another throughout the entire process. I am blessed to be a part of the development of our young people and in creating an instructional laboratory where they can thrive,” said Shane Krauser.
And the students reciprocate the excitement noted by Krauser.
Lauren M., a student from Surprise, AZ, said, “This class has taught me more in three months than I’ve learned in the last 16 years. Not only that, but Veritas Debate Academy has created a very welcoming and fun environment for all of the students.”
Shane Krauser notes that the focus of Veritas Debate Academy is to “build young men and women of character who understand the exceptionalism of America and know how to impact, lead and advance important ideas. We are on our way to changing the world as we know it.”
