Public Speaking
The ability to speak allows us to build connections with the people around us. The focus of our curriculum is to give our students the communication skills necessary to build strong bonds with the people around them. Our 10 level program focuses on expanding circles of connections, starting with “Me”, then moving to progressively larger groups (You, We, Us, Society).
Our program is more than just a public speaking class. On top of learning how to build a speech, change our voice, use our body, and create emotional, engaging prepared, impromptu, and evaluative speeches, we also teach a variety of leadership skills. From building confidence, to leading with emotional intelligence, and even how to compromise and teach, we cover a wide range of techniques and concepts that help our students to uncover their own speaking and leadership style.
All of our teachers are experienced in teaching children, not to mention excellent speakers. They are trained to give feedback that is tailored to each students needs, helping them to improve and overcome whatever challenges they may face on the road to becoming an exceptional speaker and leader.
