Capitol Debate

Capitol Debate Summer Camps teach the fundamentals of public speaking and argumentation, enabling kids to develop core presentation and debating skills that boost confidence and self-esteem. Our debate camps teach students to structure arguments, prepare debate cases, research evidence, write rebuttal briefs, deliver speeches and refute opponent arguments. Capitol Debate's goal is to enrich the social, intellectual, and academic lives of our students through the art of communication. Since 2006, our academic camps have grown to serve thousands of students and are now hosted across the United States on over 15 campuses.

Sylvan Learning of Hamilton

Family owned and operated, the Sylvan Learning of Hamilton (across from the Princeton BMW dealership on Quakerbridge Road) helps students in grades K-12 catch up, keep up or get ahead in school with in person, individualized tutoring from highly qualified teachers in math, reading, writing, study skills, speed reading, 1:1 SAT/ACT prep & subject tutoring. State-of-the-art assessments determine areas of strength and areas that may need improvement, building confidence and motivation along the way. We review the results, discuss a plan and build customized programs to meet those needs.

We’re open 6 days/week (after school & weekends) during the school year and extended hours during the summer!

A Spiritual Revolution: The Quest To Experience God
Christian Science Lecture
Tenacre Community Center
884 Great Road, Princeton NJ
March 10, 4:00 p.m.

Giulia Nesi Tetreau, is a practitioner of Christian Science and international speaker. Worldwide, across cultures, people are seeking a truer sense of Deity. Spirit, God (or whatever we call our Source) is impelling us all toward a life that's bigger and deeper than what we perceive with the five senses. This seeking, or yearning, is what Giulia understands to be a larger spiritual revolution. This talk is free and registration is not required.
