Program Overview
Public speaking school provides many benefits for children. It teaches the basics of speaking and voice control. It fosters your child’s innate communication skills and helps ameliorate the fear of addressing large groups. It grows their confidence and develops their self-worth.
These vitally critical skills can be brought to the fore by simple, yet highly effective communication methods. Our public speaking for kids teaches them to present before an audience using specific speech techniques — including vocal variety, articulation, and voice projection. By attending this academic camp workshop, children will lay the foundation for skills that will benefit their future careers.

How We Teach
We want our campers to learn by doing. We teach techniques, but we emphasize application. As students learn the tactics of speaking they always have the chance to try the theories they learn.
To grasp the techniques taught in class, kids need to try the techniques through exercises and application. Exercises are the best way to understand the concepts of public speaking. Seeing the theories work in application helps students understand why the theories work in reality.
