Public Speaking Program

CONQUER THE PODIUM AND GROW YOUR COMMAND ON SPEECH

Program Structure

Our program is designed to help children develop their confidence, communication skills, and creativity through public speaking.

Our classes include a mix of improvisational games, planned speeches, and personalized feedback to help each child grow at their own pace. We believe that every child has something valuable to say, and we work to create a supportive environment where every student feels comfortable sharing their ideas and expressing themselves.

At the end of each unit, each child will have the opportunity to showcase their progress by delivering the speech they have been practicing to their classmates. Our goal is to help each child feel proud of their accomplishments and confident in their ability to speak in public.

Who Will Benefit

Our curriculum is focused on helping kids develop key skills like eye contact, vocal projection, effective body language, and clear articulation. We also encourage creativity and self-expression through fun, engaging activities that help kids explore different aspects of public speaking.

Have your child get an early start in developing their command over speech, the confidence to stand in front of a crowd and lead the journey of mastering one of the most important skills in life.

Build confidence with personalized feedback and support from teachers/peers.

Work on communication skills through planned speeches to become a more effective speaker.

Express your creativity with our improvisational speaking games.
