Aspire is a speech and debate club exclusively for privately homeschool-educated Christian students. Aspire is Christ-centered, local to the Chicagoland area, and affiliated with the Stoa Nationwide organization. Stoa has sought to allow students the opportunity to pursue competitive excellence through the art and science of public speaking and debate. Our mission is Speaking Boldly and Changing the World for Christ. We believe that training up the next generation to be respectful listeners and communicators is integral to being effective in sharing the Gospel.
