what is the bc forensic league?
bc Forensic league
The BC Forensic League Association (BCFL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to action that sustains forensic education. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to participate in speech and debate activities. We develop partnerships and resources needed to foster and establish new speech and debate programs. We support these programs through three broad initiatives; creating educational resources, providing competitive opportunities, and coaching development. Through these capacity building initiatives, our hope is to establish and support programs at any site that wants to create a program.
At the BCFL we celebrate the unique abilities and strengths of each of our students. We accomplish this through our interaction with students.
We believe in empowering children with a lifelong education so they can be successful now and in the future. We believe in making children more confident and more independent learners. Providing students with the tools to access knowledge and self worth is what makes what we do rewarding.
Our curriculum includes a variety of adaptable learning materials and resources that produce results. We continuously refine and remodel the curriculum based on feedback from students, parents, and teachers in order to keep up with changing needs. We are dedicated to helping your child realize his or her most ambitious aspirations.
Some of our notable achievements include:
