On 7/24/2021 we held our very first Kudos Cup online speech and debate tournament between 3 campuses for students to have their first-time tournament experiences, the result was amazing and the feedbacks from parents were overwhelming.

We had Elementary Speech, Elementary Debate, Middle Speech and Middle School Debate plus storytelling for 1st and 2nd graders, total 5 events. And we hired more than 20 Kudos alumni High school and college students to be our judges, it was wonderful to see them back and judge for these youngsters. They not only learned speech and debate from Kudos, but they were also giving back to Kudos’ family as well.
