One of the best gifts you can give your child is the gift of confidence and effective communication skills. The Academy for Public Speaking offers fun, interactive courses in San Diego to empower children to develop confidence, public speaking, and leadership skills.
By discovering and embracing the power of public speaking and leadership, your child will enjoy the benefits of being a confident, effective communicator. Students who conquer the fear of public speaking at an early age have a significant advantage in school and life.
At the Academy for Public Speaking, your child will learn the value of not being afraid to express his or her ideas while developing confidence, leadership experience, and public speaking skills. These essential communication skills will support your child in doing well in school and achieving his or her goals in life.
During our free introductory class, your child will discover why public speaking skills are important, how common the fear of public speaking is, and how he or she can quickly overcome the fear of public speaking.
Your child will also have the opportunity to meet some Academy for Public Speaking graduates who will present speeches and share about their experiences. The graduates will explain how they initially felt about public speaking, what they liked about the classes, and how the skills they have acquired have helped them in school and life.
The Academy for Public Speaking offers three levels of courses. During the level one course, your child will learn how to write and deliver speeches, give effective peer evaluations, and reply to impromptu questions. The speech projects include introduction, storytelling, inspirational, and persuasive speeches.
