Extra curricular activities: debating
editAcademia is well known for its prowess in English Debating: between 2015 and 2017, Academia Debate Club (ADC) won all 3 national championships, ranking as the best in Bangladesh.[5] In addition, Academia students have represented Bangladesh at the World Schools Debating Championship in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.[6] Besides, Academia students have justified why they are amongst the top English Medium Schools in Bangladesh by winning a plethora of other debate and public speaking competitions over the years, one of the most notable being IUB Ascension--an international tournament held in Dhaka in 2019. In the process, they faced teams from IBA-DU, University of Oxford, IUT and other notable debating institutions across the world.[7]
