Stoa. Speaking Boldly and Changing the World for Christ.

Stoa is a national high school and junior high speech and debate organization that serves the needs of privately educated, Christian, homeschooled families. Stoa trains and supports leaders who, in turn, develop students into confident, articulate leaders who can change their culture through the marketplace of ideas. Our students become like family, learning to encourage one another, accept criticism, and gracefully accept victory and defeat. Our graduates have become leaders at every work, community, and ministry level.

CHRISTIAN FAITH and FORENSICS Human speech, the ability to communicate with the spoken word, is from God. It is only through God that we can speak with grace and truth. Stoa emphatically stands for this Biblical principle as we seek to develop young people into winsome and God-honoring orators through our culture of thought, public discourse, apologetics, and intellectual inquiry.

OUR PURPOSE:

Facilitate opportunities for competition and training
Build a world-class community
Equip Christian coaches in the art and science of public speaking and debate excellence
Promote the development of a Biblical worldview
Share the benefits of speech and debate with the homeschool community
Start new Stoa speech and debate clubs

Over the past several years, NITOC attendees have been able to participate in a silent auction. The Auction has become a popular staple at NITOC, and we thought our entire membership should get in on the fun! Peruse the items generously donated to Stoa and have a great time bidding!
