Co-Founder's Message

Dear Parents and Students,

As we step into the month of June, I’m thrilled to reflect on the previous month filled with accomplishments, progress, and new beginnings at the A Team Academy.

First and foremost, congratulations to our March Batch students on successfully completing their program! Your dedication and growth have been truly inspiring, and we are incredibly proud of each one of you.

We are also overjoyed to celebrate our participation in the World Scholar’s Cup 2025 – Bangkok Regional Round. Our students achieved tremendous success, bringing home numerous awards and making their mark on the international stage. This achievement is a testament to their hard work, the commitment of our coaches, and the unwavering support of our A Team families. Preparations are already in full swing for the Bangkok Global Round in September 2025, and we’re excited to continue guiding our scholars on this journey.

Warm regards,

Chris Yang
Co-Founder & Deputy CEO

What We Did

May was a month filled with energy, achievement, and exciting milestones for our students.

Wrapping Up the March Batch of Speech & Debate Program

In May, we successfully concluded our March batch of the Online Speech & Debate Program. It was a joy to watch our students grow in confidence, sharpen their speaking skills, and support one another throughout the journey. We’re incredibly proud of how far they’ve come. Take a look at some snapshots of the March batch below. 👇

Free Trial Sessions – Public Speaking & Writing

To introduce our new programs, we hosted free trial sessions for both our Public Speaking and Writing (Academic & Creative) courses. These sessions were open to all interested students and the response was fantastic! It was wonderful to meet so many curious, eager learners exploring new ways to express themselves.

🏆 The World Scholar’s Cup – Bangkok Regional Round

This was, without a doubt, our biggest highlight of the month! From May 31 to June 1, 120 of our students competed in the World Scholar’s Cup – Bangkok Regional Round 2025 at Denla British School. And the results? Absolutely phenomenal:

🏅 12 trophies
🥇 140 gold medals
🥈 182 silver medals

We couldn’t be prouder of our students who represented A Team Academy with passion, teamwork, and excellence. A special shoutout to five of our students who were selected (based on merit!) to take part in a debate showcase on stage, in front of nearly 600 students in the theatre. What an unforgettable moment!

What We Are Doing

What We’re Up To – June at A Team Academy

It’s been a lively and fulfilling month here at A Team Academy. We’re excited to share what our students have been working on — and what’s new in our lineup!

June Batch - Speech & Debate

This month brought the start of June batch of speech and debate program, and we’re thrilled to welcome both new and extending students to the program! At the same time, our April batch is still going strong. Our students continue to impress us with their growth each week. It’s inspiring to see them finding their voice and using it with purpose.

Public Speaking Program

We officially launched our brand new program - Public Speaking Program this month! It’s designed to help students speak more confidently, not just in front of an audience, but also in everyday life. From overcoming stage fright to organizing their thoughts, students are learning practical tools that will stick with them long after the program ends.

Online Writing Program

Another exciting addition is our Online Writing Program, where we teach students to express themselves more clearly and creatively through the written word. We’ve started with the basics — structure, clarity, and purpose — and we’re already seeing students gain confidence in sharing their ideas on paper.

What We Will Do

We’ve got some exciting things lined up this month and beyond!

🌞 Summer Speech & Debate Program

Our Summer Speech & Debate Program kicks off on June 16, 2025, and we’re thrilled with the overwhelming response so far — slots are almost full!

This program is a great opportunity for students to sharpen their speaking and critical thinking skills over the summer break. If you haven’t secured a spot yet, now is the time!

8-Week Training for the World Scholar’s Cup – Global Round

We’re launching a 8-week training program to prepare our students for the next big stage of the World Scholar’s Cup - the Global Rounds.

This intensive training will cover debating techniques, collaborative writing, and scholar’s challenge prep — everything our students need to compete with confidence and excellence.
