Founder & CEO Message

Dear Parents and Students,

It is with immense excitement and pride that I welcome you to the very first edition of the A Team Academy Newsletter. I am honored to share the milestones, moments, and momentum that have shaped our journey so far. What began as a vision to empower students through speech and debate has evolved into a thriving learning community grounded in passion, purpose, and performance.

Our mission has always been clear—to help students find their voice, speak with confidence, and lead with clarity. As we continue to grow, I want to thank every parent, student, coach, and partner who has been part of this journey. This newsletter is a reflection of our shared accomplishments and a glimpse into the exciting path ahead.

Warm regards,

Arthur Gannaban
Founder & CEO, A Team Academy

These milestones highlight not only our growth but also the meaningful and lasting impact we’re making in classrooms, competitions, and communities.

What We Did

Completion of January & February Batch

By March 2025, we successfully concluded the January and February batches of our 8-week Speech & Debate Program, where students honed their speaking skills, learned the fundamentals of argumentation, and engaged in vibrant discussions. The energy and enthusiasm from those batches were truly inspiring. Have a look at some highlights from the January and February batches below. 👇

April Batch Free Trials

April 2025 was an exciting month. We offered free trial sessions that gave prospective students a taste of what speech and debate training at the A Team Academy is all about.

The following week, we launched a brand-new April batch of the Speech & Debate Program with both returning and new students eager to continue their journey.

Earthquake Safety Drills

As part of our commitment to student safety and awareness, we also conducted earthquake safety drills across all classes in April 2025. These drills were led by our dedicated coaches, ensuring that every student received hands-on guidance and understood the proper steps to take during an emergency.

What We Are Doing

April Batch

Currently, our April batch is in full swing, with classes being held both onsite and online.

In addition to our regular program, we have been running a special 4-week training course to prepare students for the upcoming World Scholar's Cup (Bangkok Regional Round).

A Team Core Values

Another important milestone this month has been the establishment of the A Team Academy's Core Values, which guide the way we teach, collaborate, and grow as a team. These values are now embedded in our culture and will shape the future of our academy.

What We Will Do

World Scholar's Cup

Looking ahead, we are eagerly preparing our students for the World Scholar's Cup Bangkok Round, which will take place from May 31 to June 1, 2025. This event is a major highlight for our community, and we are confident that our students will shine on this international stage.

Free Trial Public Speaking and Writing Courses

On May 17 and 18, we hosted free trial sessions for both the Public Speaking and Writing (academic & creative) courses. These sessions were open to all interested students.
