The National Debate Forum (NDF) is the founding institute of Summit Debate Enterprises offering instruction in Lincoln Douglas, Public Forum, Model UN and Congress. NDF offers two sessions each summer; the first located at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale and the second at Emerson College in downtown Boston.
NDF is proud of its national reputation, built around its low student/teacher ratio, innovative curriculum and dedication to the continued and long lasting educational growth of each of its attendees. The staff is composed of some of the finest debate educators in the nation, many of whom are NDF alumni themselves. We strive to ensure that students leave the institute prepared to debate in any region of the country, with a strong sense of ethics and professionalism.
Since 1995, NDF has been the institute of choice for thousands of students and coaches because of its top notch faculty, and dedication to individualized instruction. Many of the top forensics programs and coaches in the nation send their students to NDF summer after summer.
