Welcome
to the official website of the International Independent Schools Public
Speaking League. For the past twenty-four years, the IISPSL has hosted
an annual public speaking and debating competition that has attracted
competitors from around the world. Upon invitation, recognized independent
schools may send teams of three competitors to the four-day competition,
typically hosted by one of the Canadian member schools. Students compete
in a variety of public speaking events selected from four categories.
All competition is in the English language. Throughout its history the
tournament has provided a means for students from Canada, the United
States and the United Kingdom, to advance to the World Individual Public
Speaking Competition, held later in the same school year.
We invite students and teachers of the independent school community
in Canada and beyond to review this website, where information about
the league, the tournament, event categories and rules can be found
throughout. Questions and comments can be directed to the site webmaster.
