DLA | Afterschool Program (Gr. 1-7)

Structured Learning. Individual Support. Confident Growth.

For the past 16 years, DebateOn Leadership Academy (formerly BC Forensic League) has been a proud member organization of the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA), helping students develop valuable lifelong skills in debate, public speaking, leadership, and confidence.

Our Afterschool Program is a safe and enriching afterschool environment welcome to Grades 1–7 in Langley and Surrey — featuring homework support, independent learning, and direct school pickup, Monday to Friday.

Students receive focused academic support across core subjects—including English, Math, Science, and Social Studies—through a structured daily routine of homework coaching, independent projects, and quiet reading designed to build confidence, strengthen study habits, and deepen critical thinking.
