We are Honor Academy
Top-Tier coaching and educational service, Wherever You Learn
Honor Academy is a premier Speech and Debate Academy in Southern California, based in Cerritos, CA, serving students across Los Angeles County and Orange County through both in-person and online programs. Known for producing consistent competitive results, Honor Academy is one of the most trusted and highly referred programs among families seeking serious academic and competitive advancement.
We specialize in competitive Speech and Debate coaching, including Public Forum (PF), Lincoln-Douglas (LD), and Individual Events (IE) such as Original Oratory, Informative Speaking, and Impromptu Speaking. Our students actively compete in regional, state, and national tournaments, building not only competitive success, but the advanced skills that matter long-term: argumentation, critical thinking, research, organization, and high-impact public speaking.
In addition to our nationally competitive debate program, Honor Academy is highly regarded for its academic tutoring, with many families referred through word of mouth. We offer math and English writing tutoring for elementary, middle, and high school students, focusing on building strong fundamentals, analytical thinking, and academic confidence that translate directly into classroom success.
At Honor Academy, we do not rely on memorized scripts. We train students to think, structure ideas, and adapt in real academic and competitive settings. Whether in debate rounds, speech performances, or academic subjects, our students learn how to develop original ideas, communicate clearly, and solve problems effectively. Our instructors bring strong academic backgrounds and subject-matter expertise, reflecting the standards of top-tier programs.
We offer private and small-group instruction with intentionally low student-to-teacher ratios, ensuring personalized coaching, detailed feedback, and measurable improvement. Whether a student is building foundational skills or preparing for high-level tournaments, our program is designed to deliver real results.

Hear From Our Parents.
Our tutor was a great listener. She figured out Emma’s starting point and delved in on exactly what she needed help with, listened to the way she was listening it in school, and worked with her using the same technique.
I started receiving tutoring for math my freshman year of high school, when I was struggling to juggle my extracurriculars and class. Tutoring saved my grades for the second semester, and has raised my confidence in class since. The tutors have been supportive, understanding, and flexible to my learning pace. There are constant check-ins with progress and very personal lesson plans that target your weaknesses. I am now in my senior year of high school taking the most advanced math class offered and much more comfortable with my own knowledge and skills. I highly recommend this service.
My boys did not like debate before we joined Honor Academy. After two years study, my son is so confident that he is eager to participate in all different tournaments. I highly appreciate the teachers and management team's effort in Honor Academy. The big difference of Honor is they do care about each individual student. From a parent's point of view, I can trust them and feel very comfortable sending my kids there.
Our tutor was amazing. She figured out Elsa's starting point and delved in on exactly what she needed help with.
The director BJ in this academy is very nice and more positive towards my kid's improvement. They have improved a lot in their speech and debate skills after joining classes in Honor. Iam very thankful that I have joined them in Honor. Honor has made very positive impact on my kid's academics. Thank you for helping my kids in a very positive way.
Honor academy is the best debate program with the best teacher. My daughter had a great experience and learned so much. Highly recommend!
Our daughter has been at Honor Academy for over 2 years and we are very happy with their programs and teachers. My daughter has been doing really well at these debate tournaments all due to the hard work of the teachers at Honor Academy. I strongly recommend them for your kids.
My daughter has been going to debate classes for a year and a half and it has been an amazing experience. The staff and coaches are all very kind and helpful. I recommend anyone who wants to do speech and debate to go here.
Honor Academy has given my daughter best resources and vision. Teachers and all the staff are very helpful and motivating. My daughter had first tournament a week ago and out of 33 groups they made it to 3 group and became semifinalists. After that feedback and suggesting for future ones were very helpful for her. Thank you.
This is such a warm and welcoming place for learning. My daughter has been attending for a couple of years, and she absolutely loves it. The owner, BJ, along with the coaches and staff, are always friendly, supportive, and dedicated to helping the kids grow. Thank you.
