Welcome to the League of Creative Minds, Academy of Debate & Diplomacy. The League middle school year-round program is meant for our youngest students entering the 6th to 8th grade. The League middle school program draws students who are passionate about learning purely for the sake of learning. This creates an upbeat dynamic classroom environment with a group of students who are motivated to begin a journey into foreign affairs and debate. International issues on the agenda include topics in health, politics, science, economics, technology, peacekeeping, security and conflict resolution. New League delegates are not expected to be experts in the field of foreign policy, but do hold an evident self-motivation to examine issues outside the borders of California, and the United States.
